path not valid compress file with powershell

Question

I'm trying to compress file:

 [io.compression.zipfile]::CreateFromDirectory("E:\YYY Software\mmmm\file.csv","E:\YYY\aaa\file.zip")

but I get the error:

Exception calling "CreateFromDirectory" with "2" argument(s): "The directory name is invalid '

I think is due to is a file and not a directory?

Answer 1

In PowerShell 5.0 onwards, Compress-Archive is available:

Compress-Archive -Path "E:\YYY Software\mmmm\file.csv" -DestinationPath "E:\YYY\aaa\file.zip"
