Create zip files using PowerShell Version 2

Question

Hello All,

 

Can you please suggest, how to  create zip files using PowerShell version 2.

 

we are trying below fuction but not working for sharepoint 2010, we can not upgrade as well the powershell also:

Function CompresstempLogsFiles($servername){

$source = Get-ChildItem -Path $tempFolder

Add-Type -assembly "system.io.compression.filesystem"

 

Getting an error called assembly could not found, working fine for PowerShell v5.
