C zip library that can create password protected zip files on windows?

Anyone know of a C library that can create password protected zip files on windows? It appears that the option to password protect zip files with the built-in zip utility has been removed from windows 7, but I don't think this is an issue.

Can either zziplib or the 7-Zip SDK do this?

Solution

  • 7-Zip SDK (LZMA SDK) supports password protected archive.
