下面是工作代码，压缩源文件夹中的所有文件，并在目标文件夹中创建一个zip文件。

    $DestZip="C:\Destination\"
    $Source = "C:\Source\"

    $folder = Get-Item -Path $Source

    $ZipTimestamp = Get-Date -format yyyyMMdd-HHmmss;
    $ZipFileName  = $DestZip + "Backup_" + $folder.name + "_" + $ZipTimestamp + ".zip" 

    $Source

    set-content $ZipFileName ("PK" + [char]5 + [char]6 + ("$([char]0)" * 18)) 
    # Wait for the zip file to be created.
    while (!(Test-Path -PathType leaf -Path $ZipFileName))
    {    
        Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 20
    } 
    $ZipFile = (new-object -com shell.application).NameSpace($ZipFileName)

    Write-Output (">> Waiting Compression : " + $ZipFileName)       

    #BACKUP - COPY
    $ZipFile.CopyHere($Source) 

    $ZipFileName
    # ARCHIVE

    Read-Host "Please Enter.."

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

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"

System.IO.Packaging.ZipPackage呢?

它需要。net 3.0或更高版本。

#Load some assemblys. (No line break!)
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load("WindowsBase, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35")

#Create a zip file named "MyZipFile.zip". (No line break!)
$ZipPackage=[System.IO.Packaging.ZipPackage]::Open("C:\MyZipFile.zip",
   [System.IO.FileMode]"OpenOrCreate", [System.IO.FileAccess]"ReadWrite")

#The files I want to add to my archive:
$files = @("/Penguins.jpg", "/Lighthouse.jpg")

#For each file you want to add, we must extract the bytes
#and add them to a part of the zip file.
ForEach ($file In $files)
{
   $partName=New-Object System.Uri($file, [System.UriKind]"Relative")
   #Create each part. (No line break!)
   $part=$ZipPackage.CreatePart($partName, "",
      [System.IO.Packaging.CompressionOption]"Maximum")
   $bytes=[System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($file)
   $stream=$part.GetStream()
   $stream.Write($bytes, 0, $bytes.Length)
   $stream.Close()
}

#Close the package when we're done.
$ZipPackage.Close()

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

[CmdletBinding()]
Param(
     [Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
     [ValidateScript({Test-Path -Path $_ -PathType Leaf})]
     [string]$sourceFile,

     [Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
     [ValidateScript({-not(Test-Path -Path $_ -PathType Leaf)})]
     [string]$destinationFile
) 

<#
     .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

对于压缩，我会使用库(如Michal所建议的，7-Zip很好)。

如果安装7-Zip，安装目录将包含7z.exe，这是一个控制台应用程序。 您可以直接调用它，并使用您想要的任何压缩选项。

如果您希望使用DLL，那也应该是可能的。 7-Zip是免费的开源软件。
