You could do this:
1. Compress the files.
2. Uncompress then to a different directory.
3. Compare the two file sets.

What exactly do you mean with "and then the directory size."?

Sorry,

After that i have to check the folder size where i compressed all the
files.

But i don't know what commands to use and this PCs doesn't have
installed winzip. it has to be with the native compress tool.

Thanks.

Fine. Make it four steps:
1. Compress the files.
2. Uncompress then to a different directory.
3. Compare the two file sets.
4. Compare the size of the original folder with that of
the uncompress folder from Step 2.

Hi,

You can you compress and expand from the Ressource Kit and the fc command
from shell. That might be ok.
For the FCcommand, you can use /B for binary, /L for ascii or /U for unicode

SET src=<path\file>
SET dst=<path\file.zip>
SET exp=<path>

COMPRESS -z %src% %dst%
EXPAND %dst% %exp%
FC /B %src% %exp%\file

Regards,

Manu.
