WinZip Self-Extractor creates self-extracting
Zip files. These self-extracting Zip files are ideal for electronic
file distribution, because they contain multiple compressed files,
minimizing download time and ensuring that important files do not
become separated. Additionally, WinZip Self-Extractor allows the
recipient to use a familiar Windows interface to decompress files
without a separate unzip utility. Self-extracting Zip files can
optionally run a "setup" or "installation" program, provided by the
creator, after the files are decompressed.
WinZip Self-Extractor 4 is
a companion product to WinZip and is separately licensed. The current
release of WinZip contains WinZip Self-Extractor Personal Edition, a
subset of
