How to export in ODT in org-mode?


When using org-mode, I would like to be able to save my org file (called here pad.org) in a ODT format. Here is what I have when trying save the file pad.org,

Running zip -mX0 pad.odt mimetype

When zip.exe is running, the GUI opens and I get the error message

Can't open -mX0 pad.odt

I'm a new user of emacs and org-mode on Windows 10. In the .emacs file I have the following lines :

;; Load ODT backend to allow for exporting to open document format.
(eval-after-load "org" '(require 'ox-odt nil t))

;;set env for odt
(setenv "PATH" (concat (getenv "PATH") ";" "C:\zip"))
    (setq exec-path (append exec-path '("C:\zip")))

In the folder C:\zip, I placed the zip executable (in fact Wiz.exe renamed zip.exe). With the command C-x C-e o o, I get the error message mentioned above.

I also tried with 7z.exe. But in that case, I have the error message :
