Replacing files in a *.zip file without unzipping (extracting) in Powershell

Hi everyone!

Currently, I am trying to create a script in Powershell that will replace/delete files in a *.zip file without extracting it.

I know it is possible to do manually by using applications like 7Zip and WinRAR or by simply opening a zip archive in Folder Explorer, but I am looking for a way to automate this action.

I am new to powershell and to programming in general, so I cannot come up with any preliminary code. I tried to search for answers on the net, but failed to find anything that would work for me.

So the question is:
Lets say we have a zip archive called Photos (Photos.zip). The archive contains 5 images. How do I replace/delete images in Photos.zip without extracting it in Powershell?

Any code/ideas/links to helpful resources would be highly appreciated.

I used the following solution.

First I moved old files from the archive to a temporary folder by using this code:

#Path to the temporary folder
$pathToTemporaryFolder = "C:\...\Temporary"
#Path to a file that will be moved from the archive to the temporary folder
$pathToFileToBeMoved = "C:\...\Photos.zip\My Photos\My Image.png"
(New-Object -COM Shell.Application).NameSpace("$pathToTemporaryFolder").MoveHere("$pathToFileToBeMoved")

Then, I copied some new files to the archive:

#Path to the folder with a new file
$pathToFolderWithNewFile = "C:\...\New Images\My New Image.jpeg"
#Path to a folder in the archive where the new file will be copied to
$pathToFolderInArchive = "C:\...\Photos.zip\My Photos"
(New-Object -COM Shell.Application).NameSpace("$pathToFolderInArchive").CopyHere("$pathToFolderWithNewFile")

Finally I deleted the temporary folder

Remove-Item -Path "C:\...\Temporary" -Recurse

This is how I deleted files from the archive and copied new files to it without unzipping/extracting.
