MSBuild The "WorkingDirectory" parameter is not supported by the "Zip" task

Question

In MSBuild the .xml file I have contains this:

 <Target Name="Zip">
<ItemGroup>
    <WorkingDirect Include="$(DeployDirectory)$(PackagePrefix)\$(PackageFolder)"/>
  </ItemGroup>
        <CreateItem Include="$(DeployDirectory)$(PackagePrefix)\$(PackageFolder)\*.*" >
                <Output ItemName="ZipFiles" TaskParameter="Include"/>
        </CreateItem>
<Message Text="@(WorkingDirect)" Importance="High" />
        <Zip ZipFileName="YourZipFile.zip" WorkingDirectory="@(WorkingDirect)" Files="@(ZipFiles)" />
</Target>

in forums it's been said that in order to zip the deploy packages I need to add above. But I am getting the following error:

[15:54:50][Zip] C:\TeamCity\buildAgent\work\c14fc97466c6d06e****cmss.xml(148, 44): error MSB4064: The "WorkingDirectory" parameter is not supported by the "Zip" task. Verify the parameter exists on the task, and it is a settable public instance property.
[15:54:50][Zip] C:\TeamCity\buildAgent\work\c14fc97466c6d06e****cmss.xml(148, 9): error MSB4063: The "Zip" task could not be initialized with its input parameters. 
[15:54:50][Step 1/1] Process exited with code 1

However in build.log it seems the parameter have been set correctly:

[Zip] C:\DeployPackages\**\20150725_155148

I have been searching quite long, please can anybody help me???

Thanks in advance...

All is well now; many thanks to my boss :) He sent me the link of the correct usage. For anyone who suffer from creating zip files from deploy packages: (http://www.msbuildextensionpack.com/help/3.5.14.0/index.html)
