Just tried doing my first ODT export while booted into Windows and
don't have the zip utility that Org is looking for. From searching,
this thread suggests Info-zip:
- http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/43994
But it's not clear to me what was installed there. If you check out
the sourceforge repo, there's WiZ and a Zip 3.x (latest) which seem to
be the most promising candidates:
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/infozip/files/
I downloaded both. WiZ gives me a WiZ.exe file, but I'm not sure if
that's what worked for Sebastian in the thread (rename zip.exe and add
to path? Or did he compile the Zip 3.x stuff -- there's no executables
in that download from what I saw).
Trying to run WiZ.exe --help opens a GUI, so I'm not sure this is the
command line utility that Org is looking for...
Anyone else been through the setup process? I don't use Cygwin, nor do
I want to set it up. I use Windows only when absolutely necessary, so
minimal time investment for setup is my goal.
Thanks for any suggestions!
John

You'll need the latest versions of unzip and zip. The binaries are
available from the Info-Zip FTP or any of its many mirror sites:
ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/win32/
WiZ uses the same code but is a GUI application, so it doesn't do what
you want.

Achim.

Could you provide the equivalent at this repo?
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/infozip/files/
The ftp link above isnt showing any contents in my browser. I
downloaded both WiZ and the zip30.zip file by following the path `Zip
3.x (latest)` -> `3.0` -> zip30.zip but didn't see any executables in
there. Looked like source that needed to be built and my Win 7 usage
is slow low that I don't really care to fuss with make tools on it.
I ended up tracking down some zip.exe specific download, presumably
from Info-zip since I wasn't easily finding the direct .exe download
hunting around on their sourceforge site.
Thanks for any suggestions,
John

As the name implies, that's where you get the sources.
> The ftp link above isnt showing any contents in my browser.
Get a browser that tells you why it doesn't show anything or (on a
hunch) teach it which proxy it needs to contact for FTP links. Or find
a HTTP mirror, like these:
http://fossies.org/windows/misc/zip300xn.zip/
http://www.scopr.com/ftpsites/ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/win32/
I could swear that every TeX mirror had these, but it appears they're
not mirroring Info-ZIP anymore.

Yes, these are the sources, you'd need to compile them. You want
binaries.

Then I'll consider the above for documentation, but not for usage in
situations like my own where I don't have the slightest inclination to
install make tools. I'll stick to places where I can find executable
downloads for general recommendation. Though, as a side thought,
there's likely to be a lot more make-tool-enabled Win users on this
list than not. Since I only use Windows when forced and Linux works
just fine... I'm just not compelled to mess with it any more than I
absolutely have to.

1. http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html
2. http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/zip.htm
For Emacs + Windows there is this repo
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/
maintained by Eli Zaretskii.
In EzWinPorts, I don't see Zip and Unzip. But if you write to Eli (he
posted on this mailing list a few days back) he may make a port of this
available.
ps: I am no longer on Windows, but in the past I have used dlls from
GnuWin32 package.
