Okay Phoenix...

It was a pain in the butt, but I un-installed WinZip 9 and rebooted. Then I re-installed all Winzip 8.0 and command-line add-on v1.0

I can confirm that 8.0 DOES NOT work. Version 9.0 beta DOES WORK fine.

Not sure what you're really trying to do here though. There are plenty of applications and methods for backing up files or systems.

Using Winzip for this purpose is okay for a quicky, but not very robust. Why do you need separate zip files for each folder?

Why not upgrade to Winzip 9 beta? It is a free upgrade for registered users.

Maybe if you give us more details on what the FULL STORY is for the archiving purposes we can either script something better or recommend a better product.

In the same/similar category as Winzip, there is WinRaR too.
