title: Can Windows' built-in ZIP compression be scripted?
body: <p>Is the ZIP compression that is built into Windows XP/Vista/2003/2008 able to be scripted at all? What executable would I have to call from a BAT/CMD file? or is it possible to do it with VBScript?</p>
  
  <p>I realize that this is possible using <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinZip" rel="noreferrer">WinZip</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-Zip" rel="noreferrer">7-Zip</a> and other external applications, but I'm looking for something that requires no external applications to be installed.</p>
