As far as I know there is no windows API support for handling ZIP files. Windows just supports cab files. I you want to process zip files from c++ you should zlib which is free. Just google for "zlib" or see

Will I be able to use zlib library to make a package out of a number of files into one zip file ? Let me give you some details. I have a set of files and folders with data. I want to programmatically package these files and folders into a single zip file. The zlib works for buffers and I have a set of files and folders to work with...... Please guide me !!
