[RESOLVED] Winzip 9.0 AES Encryption

[abu13]

Hi All,

I am looking for a solution to programmatically enforce AES 256 bit Encryption standard while compressing file using Winzip 9.0.

I am using the following code to zip the source file:

Call Shell("C:\Program Files\WinZip\winzip32 -min -a -s" & """" & Passwd & """" & " " & """" & Left(Fname, Len(Fname) - 4) & ".zip" & """" & " " & """" & Fname & """", vbHide).

The choice here for Encryption standard is the default one set in winzip 9.0 application. If we want to choose AES 256 bit encryption, then we need to manually set the option before using the above code. What I am looking for is to enforce the option programmatically.

Can we supply any argument in the above code to achieve this?

Any help is truly appreciated!

Many thanks

Do these two links help?
1. Using the command line tool
2. Using code (sample is not VB6 though)
