Install Feature

WinZip's Install feature makes it easy to install software, desktop themes, and screen savers distributed in archives.

The WinZip Software Installer

If the open Zip file contains an identifiable setup or install program, WinZip provides a one-click Install button that helps you install the software in the Zip file.

When you click the Install button, WinZip will extract all of the files from the Zip file to a temporary folder and then start the setup program. When setup is complete, WinZip automatically deletes all of the files from the temporary folder. This allows you to install programs conveniently, without having to delete the temporary files that are needed only during installation.

The WinZip Desktop Theme Installer

If WinZip determines that the open Zip file contains a desktop theme, you can use the one-click Install button to install your theme. WinZip extracts all necessary files to appropriate folders and then runs the Windows theme installer to complete installation.

If you use the WinZip Wizard, the Wizard will automatically lead you through theme installation when you unzip a Zip file that contains a theme.

The WinZip Screen Saver Installer

If WinZip determines that the open Zip file contains one or more screen savers, you can use the one-click Install button to install your screen saver. WinZip extracts the necessary files to appropriate folders and then runs the Windows "Display" control panel application to complete your installation.

If you use the WinZip Wizard, the Wizard will automatically lead you through screen saver installation when you unzip a Zip file that contains a screen saver.
