I have a For Each Loop that contains a process task where Im calling 7 Zip to create a zip file which contains several txt files. Sometimes it runs fine but other times I get an error saying: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. cannot delete the file \\directory path\[the name of the zip file that its creating].
Seems like the process tries to access the zip file before the the lock from the last execution of the foreach loop has been removed. Is there a way to ensure that this doesn't happen?

I think what you're seeing is Windows being slow at releasing control of the file. I've had similar problems with file system operations when looping very quickly through a list of files. In one package, I had to add a short wait (1-2 sec) in the loop to stop this from happening.
One thing you could try, is, on error, wait 2 seconds, then try again.

I've read this three or four times and I don't understand what's going on.
If you are creating a Zip file, why would you ever get a 'cannot delete' type error?
If your FEL contains the EP task, the EP task is executed on every iteration of the FEL. Yet you refer only to the 'last execution of the FEL'. Why are you calling the EP task repeatedly?

I have several files in the folder that need to be zipped into the same zip file

OK, but this does not answer my questions.
