WinZip Self Extractor

WinZip Self-Extractor is a useful utility program which creates self-extracting Zip files.

These self-extracting Zip files are ideal for electronic file distribution, because they allow the receiver to use a familiar Windows interface to decompress files without a separate unzip utility.

Additionally, self-extracting Zip files can optionally run a "setup" or "installation" program, provided by the creator, after the files are decompressed.
