To be honest I don't give a fig about how the zipfile is created, the

to make executable. If Windows cannot hack building a proper zipfile
then a machine with a proper operating system should be used so that the
zipfile is fit for its purpose.
Of course you're right, and I know it, I've just been lazy. I spent some
time on google and cannot find a zip program for Windows that enables
one to set (or even display) the file attributes in zip files. Go
figure. So I'll just write one using Phobos' std.zip.

Waste of time doesn't begin to describe this.
