Where can I find a zip.exe (that works in Windows 7)?

I am trying to get the OpenOffice SDK installed. Its requirements are a number of programs

I ran into a "simple" problem: I can't find a zip program !

Quote:

zip tool (2.3 or higher)

The zip tool is used to create UNO packages. zip is a new requirement to make the SDK independent of a Java SDK. If you do not have these already, you can download them from . Note: The cygwin zip.exe does not work for the build under the 4NT shell. You have to use the native w32 version.

I have tried - but the link above sends me to downloads of zip binaries that show "frozen"

Anything else I have tried - like 7zip or winrar - is rejected by setup program, which looks for "zip.exe"

Please, where can I find a zip.exe (that works in Windows 7) ?

If you scrolled down another dozen lines, you would have found the link to their FTP server and their SourceForge page:

ftp://

EDIT: Step-by-step to get zip.exe file:

• Go to FTP server.
• Click on the system you need. Use "win32" folder for Windows.
• Click on the version of Zip that you need. Version 3.0 is the latest version. For 64-bit, select the x64 file.
• Download this zip file.
• Extract the zip file to the location of your choice.
• Extract the extracted zip file to the location of your choice.
• Use zip.exe as needed.

I know this question is a bit old, but I figured that it would be nice to have a direct copy of zip.exe made available

Here:

From Microsoft Technet:

There is no zip.exe in Windows 7 and as far as I know there has never been a zip.exe in any version of Windows[...]

According to what you wrote, that batch script uses a "zip.exe" file someway deployed on that system, maybe part of a file compression and archiving program. There's no such a command available in a Windows installation.

Additionally, when I used everything (a program that searches every single file on your computer) to serach for zip.exe, nothing came up.
