Hi Michael, since there are no replies I dont know if you have solved this post in the meantime but I would create a more simple test for the exe environment i.e. try to zip only a single file.

Also, specify the complete path and file name for the file to be zipped because perhaps it does nothing because it cannot find the files you are trying to zip because of a path issue. So your code becomes:

cDestination="Z:\backup\backup.zip"  && your zip drive
oWinZip = NewObject( "WinZipMgr", "WinZipMgr.prg")
oWinZip.AddFiles( cDestination, "C:\Temp\MyFile.txt")  && sample test file

Also, you say the file Process.vcx are included in the exe. I assume you are issuing the SET CLASSLIB command? - Just grasping :)
