# The AppendDataEncoded method is deprecated:

if ($zip.LastMethodSuccess -eq $false) {
    $($zip.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using AddEncoded.

# Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
$success = $zip.AddEncoded($pathInZip,$encoding,$encData)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($zip.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# Do the following if you need the zip entry object for what was just appended.
# The newly appended entry is the last one.
