Another example about getting the correct paths within a .zip. VBScript

success = 0

' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

set zip = CreateObject("Chilkat.Zip")

' Intialize the zip object by calling NewZip.
success = zip.NewZip("myZip.zip")

' Add references to files:
recurse = 1
success = zip.AppendFiles("c:\temp\a\subdir1\*",recurse)

' Assuming that the file c:\temp\a\subdir1\dude.gif exists,
' the .zip will contain "dude.gif" without any path information.

' The component has no
' choice but to use "c:\\temp\\a\\subdir1" as the root.
' It's not possible for the component to know if you
' wanted subdir1\ or a\subdir1\ or temp\a\subdir1
' paths prefixed for each file added.

' To control the path within the zip, set the AppendFromDir
' directory and then use a relative path in AppendFiles.
' For example:
zip.AppendFromDir = "c:\temp\a"

success = zip.AppendFiles("subdir1\*",recurse)

' This causes c:\temp\a\subdir1\dude.gif to be added as
' "subdir1\dude.gif" within the .zip.

' If you need the path within the .zip to be "a\subdir", then
' do this:
zip.AppendFromDir = "c:\temp"
success = zip.AppendFiles("a\subdir1\*",recurse)

success = zip.WriteZipAndClose()
