Nothing happens when I try to send files / folders to Compressed (zipped) folder
For a while now, I've been unable to send files or folders to Zipped folder from windows explorer. The option is there, but when I click on it, nothing happens.
It seems others have had similar problems, but in their cases, the option has been greyed out, or another program has taken over as the default .zip program.
If I type "regsvr32 %windir%/system32/zipfldr.dll" into a run command, I get the following error:
_______________________________
[Window Title]
RegSvr32
[Content]
The module "C:\WINDOWS/system32/zipfldr.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found.
Make sure that "C:\WINDOWS/system32/zipfldr.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again.
[OK]

Very annoying, I'm not confident enough to go hacking around the registry without some direct help, but maybe there's an easy option, or something simple I'm missing?
Answer
I ran into this issue as well. However my fix was much easier. My file names and paths were too long to be zipped. There was no warning.
I resolved it by copy-pasting the directory to another with a shorter path.
e.g. from /this/path/is/way/too/ooo/ooo/oo/long to /home/Desktop
