I've used Winzip on my WAMP setup - Windows XP (and then switched to
7zip - much easier).

To get zip to work from an exec call, I had to open the Services window
(Run - services.msc) - select Apache - click on Properties - go to the
Log On tab and then check "allow service to interact with the desktop."
(I've been flamed for admitting to doing that, too. ?)

After learning more, I downloaded 7-zip (free), which comes with a very
nice command line interface and I switched to using that. It works much
nicer (and it can create .zip format).
