I use Info-ZIP's zip.exe
in most of my build scripts to create zip files. The site I have been recommending to download the program doesn't appear to have been maintained for a while and I'm concerned that it might go away. So I've decided to host zip.exe
and unzip.exe
myself, just to be on the safe side.
A zip file, info-zip.zip
, has been uploaded to my Google Drive. The file contains Windows builds of zip v2.32 & unzip v5.52, along with the required license. Clicking the following button will open a page on Google Drive that lists the contents of info-zip.zip
. You will need to click the download button to get it.
