use winrar command line to create zip archives

Question

I\'m using the following winrar command line to create zip archives:

rar.exe a -df -ep -ag[yyyyMMddhhmmss] -ms[txt] C:\\MyZipFile.zip C:\\tmp\\MyFiles*.txt
         


        

Answer 1

Make certain you are using WinRAR.exe and not Rar.exe.

If you are using the command line to do this make sure you type:

winrar a -afzip c:\test.zip c:\test.csv

not:

a -afzip c:\test.zip c:\test.csv

It works for me. I also got it to work in SSIS.
