ZIPing files from different directories

If I want to ZIP two files together into the root of the ZIP from different directories, is that possible? Specifically, here's my step:


<step action='ZIP Files'>
<Action type='3'>2</Action>
<Compression>5</Compression>
<Dest>FSE 8.5 SP%ServicePack% PL%PatchLevel%\FSE85SP%ServicePack%PL%PatchLevel%_ %buildnumber%_chinese.zip</Dest>
<Ext><![CDATA[%B12005Dir%\Src\Install\Language Drop-In\chinese.exe
%B12005DIR%\Src\Doco\AddingADisplayLanguage.pdf
]]></Ext>
<Hidden type='11'>-1</Hidden>
<LogDetail type='11'>-1</LogDetail>
<indent type='3'>1</indent>
<name>Create Zip of Chinese Install + Documentation</name>
</step>

As you can see, it's adding
%B12005Dir%\Src\Install\Language Drop-In\chinese.exe
and
%B12005DIR%\Src\Doco\AddingADisplayLanguage.pdf
But this creates unnecessary path information that I don't want, and I don't want to search recursively in subdirectories, because I only need those two specific files.

Any thoughts? Should this be split into two steps? Anything else?

I would rather not set the base directory to %B12005Dir%\Src and turn on "search recursively" since the tree structure there is rather large.

You would need to use two separate steps to add files from two different paths without storing their relative paths in the ZIP file.
