7 Zip Path
The location of the 7-zip executable for zip operations requiring 7-zip.
The value is surfaced to generated SSIS projects as the ZipPath project parameter and package variable, for zip operations that call the external 7-Zip executable. The built-in file compress and archive script tasks use the in-process GZip library and do not depend on this path.
When to Change This Setting
Set it to the 7-Zip installation folder on the machine executing the packages when your solution includes steps that call 7-Zip; otherwise the default can be left as is.
