Issues accessing Amazon from work, though.  All links through Alteryx came back, forbidden.  Worked from Chrome though.  I had to download the images and retrieve them from disk.  I tried to keep the work flow as similar as possible.  About the only thing missing is the download tool.

So I had to do some powershell scripting to make option 1 work. You'll see a file called "unzip.ps1" for the argument of my run command tool. Here was the actual script that I used. 

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.IO.Compression.FileSystem
function Unzip
{
param([string]$zipfile, [string]$outpath)

[System.IO.Compression.ZipFile]::ExtractToDirectory($zipfile, $outpath)
}
Unzip "C:\users\irbrtp\desktop\image assets.zip" "C:\users\irbrtp\desktop\"

Went for the route#1, with some 7z to help.

 Not sure why I am unable to upload workflows (Keep getting this error no matter what I do to the file (yxmd, yxwz, zip) The contents of the attachment doesn't match its file type.)

Had to peek at the solution to figure this one out.  Didn't occur to me until late that I should have been referencing the Alteryx Periodic table to figure out what the background colors were referring to.  But I got there eventually.
