 Q. Creating Self Extracting Zip Files

All,

Does anyone know of a royalty free DLL that can be called from 32bit VB4
that allows you to create self extracting zip files ?

Thank you,

Peter Greenway

 Q. Creating Self Extracting Zip Files

Winzip is only $29.00 for single users, and creates self extracting zips
with a click of a button.  Purchase of version 6.2 now gives you Winzip and
the self-extractor for the same low price.

I think there are two ways to do this, but neither are free.

On is Wise Installation System, it creates a single self extracting EXE
file.

The other is the popular WinZip application. They have an option that
you can use to build a self extracting zip file, that unzips the file
and then launches your setup.exe program.
