Execution of ZipDirectory results in the following output: ---Getting references to all files in: C:\projects\workspace\testing\stuff directory:C:\projects\workspace\testing\stuff\f1 directory:C:\projects\workspace\testing\stuff\f1\f2 directory:C:\projects\workspace\testing\stuff\f1\f2\f3 file:C:\projects\workspace\testing\stuff\f1\f2\f3\file5.txt file:C:\projects\workspace\testing\stuff\file1.txt file:C:\projects\workspace\testing\stuff\file2.txt directory:C:\projects\workspace\testing\stuff\folder file:C:\projects\workspace\testing\stuff\folder\file3.txt file:C:\projects\workspace\testing\stuff\folder\file4.txt ---Creating zip file Writing 'f1\f2\f3\file5.txt' to zip file Writing 'file1.txt' to zip file Writing 'file2.txt' to zip file Writing 'folder\file3.txt' to zip file Writing 'folder\file4.txt' to zip file ---Done The stuff.zip file is now present at the root level of the project.
