Dim localFilePath As String

// The AppendOneFileOrDir method is deprecated:

If (zip.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(zip.LastErrorText)

// Do the equivalent using AddFile.

// Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.

If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(zip.LastErrorText)

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