I presume the error he's seeing is something along the line of:

"zip: Bad command or filename."

That's basically because there is no commandline builtin for zipping up
files on Windows, and I don't know of WinZIP or any of the InfoZIP derived
GUIs installing a command-line zipper.

What might help you though (and keep you platform-independent):
