You can archive to GZip with PowerShell. Here is a sample project and the script from it:

gzip.morph (1.8 KB)

$File = "{File name}"
$srcFile = Get-Item -Path $File
$newFileName = "$($srcFile.FullName).gz"

try
{
    $srcFileStream = New-Object System.IO.FileStream($srcFile.FullName,([IO.FileMode]::Open),([IO.FileAccess]::Read),([IO.FileShare]::Read))
    $dstFileStream = New-Object System.IO.FileStream($newFileName,([IO.FileMode]::Create),([IO.FileAccess]::Write),([IO.FileShare]::None))
    $gzip = New-Object System.IO.Compression.GZipStream($dstFileStream,[System.IO.Compression.CompressionMode]::Compress)
    $srcFileStream.CopyTo($gzip)
} 
catch
{
    Write-Host "$_.Exception.Message"
}
finally
{
    $gzip.Dispose()
    $srcFileStream.Dispose()
    $dstFileStream.Dispose()
}

The script is taken here: https://securitytidbits.wordpress.com/2017/04/14/powershell-and-gzip-compression/

Hi Dmitry and thanks,
I was not able to use this script, too many errors, something is probably missing on my server.

Anyway, I solved with 7zip installation and a very simple script:
C:“Program Files”\7-Zip\7z.exe a -tgzip C:\Users\claudio.murano\Desktop\SGtest\prova.gz C:\Users\claudio.murano\Desktop\SGtest\prova.txt
this script call .exe, then we have the command a(=add file), command -t used to define a format + gzip format, finally the archive destination path and the path of file to archive.

Attached the sample project.
gzip_7zip.morph (1.2 KB)

Thank you
Claudio
