下面是PowerShell v5的原生解决方案，使用cmdlet压缩-归档使用PowerShell创建Zip文件。

请参见微软文档 Compress-Archive。

示例1:

Compress-Archive `
    -LiteralPath C:\Reference\Draftdoc.docx, C:\Reference\Images\diagram2.vsd `
    -CompressionLevel Optimal `
    -DestinationPath C:\Archives\Draft.Zip

示例2:

Compress-Archive `
    -Path C:\Reference\* `
    -CompressionLevel Fastest `
    -DestinationPath C:\Archives\Draft

示例3:

Write-Output $files | Compress-Archive -DestinationPath $outzipfile

如果您前往CodePlex并获取PowerShell社区扩展，您可以使用他们的write-zip cmdlet。

CodePlex处于只读模式，准备关闭

你可以去PowerShell画廊。

这很晦涩，但很有效。7za.exe是7zip的独立版本，可通过安装包获得。

# get files to be send
$logFiles = Get-ChildItem C:\Logging\*.* -Include *.log | where {$_.Name -match $yesterday} 

foreach ($logFile in $logFiles)
{
    Write-Host ("Processing " + $logFile.FullName)

    # compress file
    & ./7za.exe a -mmt=off ($logFile.FullName + ".7z") $logFile.FullName

}

如果有人需要压缩单个文件(而不是一个文件夹):http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jerrydixon/archive/2014/08/08/zipping-a-single-file-with-powershell.aspx

<#
     .SYNOPSIS
     Creates a ZIP file that contains the specified innput file.

     .EXAMPLE
     FileZipper -sourceFile c:\test\inputfile.txt 
                -destinationFile c:\test\outputFile.zip
#> 

function New-Zip
{
     param([string]$zipfilename)
     set-content $zipfilename 
          ("PK" + [char]5 + [char]6 + ("$([char]0)" * 18))
     (dir $zipfilename).IsReadOnly = $false
}

function Add-Zip
{
     param([string]$zipfilename) 

     if(-not (test-path($zipfilename)))
     {
          set-content $zipfilename 
               ("PK" + [char]5 + [char]6 + ("$([char]0)" * 18))
          (dir $zipfilename).IsReadOnly = $false    

     }

     $shellApplication = new-object -com shell.application
     $zipPackage = $shellApplication.NameSpace($zipfilename)


     foreach($file in $input) 
     { 
          $zipPackage.CopyHere($file.FullName)
          Start-sleep -milliseconds 500
     }
}

dir $sourceFile | Add-Zip $destinationFile

PowerShell v5.0增加了压缩-归档和扩展-归档cmdlet。链接页面有完整的例子，但它的要点是:

# Create a zip file with the contents of C:\Stuff\
Compress-Archive -Path C:\Stuff -DestinationPath archive.zip

# Add more files to the zip file
# (Existing files in the zip file with the same name are replaced)
Compress-Archive -Path C:\OtherStuff\*.txt -Update -DestinationPath archive.zip

# Extract the zip file to C:\Destination\
Expand-Archive -Path archive.zip -DestinationPath C:\Destination

安装7zip(或下载命令行版本)并使用PowerShell方法:

function create-7zip([String] $aDirectory, [String] $aZipfile){
    [string]$pathToZipExe = "$($Env:ProgramFiles)\7-Zip\7z.exe";
    [Array]$arguments = "a", "-tzip", "$aZipfile", "$aDirectory", "-r";
    & $pathToZipExe $arguments;
}

你可以这样调用它:

create-7zip "c:\temp\myFolder" "c:\temp\myFolder.zip"
