    Normally, the built-in compression utility of windows creates .zip files.

    The best option should be 7zip which is an open source licence

    we have a 7-Zip Command Line Version available for download(http://www.7-zip.org/download.html)

    use that one with commands as Expressions along with ur variables in exec process task..

    for command line arguments...

    I can't use 7zip as i don't have permission.

    So you must decompress folder, but you can't use an exe to decompress them.

    That's quite a deadlock.

    Are you looking for a native tool...

    if so you can use compress

    for that u need to ask ur admin to install this toolkit for u.

    Maybe the permissions issue is not with EXE files, rather adding (non MS) software

    The only only MS only options that I can see would be to have a CLR written to access the Windows Shell (where the native compressed folders are) or to install the 2003 Resource Kit (from MS) which has a COMPRESS executable that is command line-able.
