WinZip Self Extractor is an intuitive program for Windows designed specifically for building self-extracting ZIP files. This means you no longer need to rely on WinZip or similar utilities to decompress the created archives.

Overview

This tool is particularly useful when sharing a file with several persons. The graphical interface is quite straightforward. It employs a dedicated wizard that seamlessly guides you through the process to achieve your desired outcome.

You have the option to generate either a regular self-extracting ZIP file or one tailored for software installation. The former is typically recommended for items such as text, images, videos, etc. The latter provides a more professional appearance for installing a program.

Advanced configuration

Subsequently, you can enable the application to span across multiple removable disks. This is helpful in situations where one drive may not accommodate a single file. In addition, you can input the source ZIP or ZIPX and enter text to be displayed in a message box and its title.

What is more, you may designate a default Unzip To folder, set a command to be executed upon completion of the extraction process, and even choose your own icon. You can also configure the utility to automatically rewrite files without prompting.
