Hi All,
I have a vRO workflow that generates a zip file on a windows server with a random name. path of that is C:\filename.zip. The name of the file is random and has been attributed under "filename"..
Can someone help me create a simple scriptable task or a simple workflow to :
1) make a directory under C:
2) unzip the file in that directory
Please don't suggest to use powershell cmdlets or ps scripts since in my environment, powershell on all servers is disabled due to security reasons..
Quick help is appreciated..

In situations like this, I have found it beneficial to generate self extracting executables instead of zip files, then transfer the self extracting executables to the guest OS prior to extracting them.
