This line of `dired-do-compress-to':
(out-file (read-file-name "Compress to: "))
needs to be changed to this:
(out-file (expand-file-name (read-file-name "Compress to: ")))
Otherwise, an output file name that is read as, say, ~/some/dir/foo.zip
ends up erroneously trying to do this, or similar:
zip I/O error: No such file or directory
zip error: Could not create output file (/cygdrive/d/some/path//some/dir/foo.zip)
^^
