just I put together some parts
of posts before that in this thread .
ok . this is a way who works here with WPI for WinZip9.0SR1 .

Step 1 : cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\WinApp\\Winzip_v9_0\\WinZip90SR1.exe']
How make WinZip90SR1.exe as a new package :
I follow old advices :
- I download the last version of WinZip 9.0SR1
- I install this package
- I registered for verify registerWinZip.reg
- I like simplicity of @astalavista way in NIS2005 so
With c:\Program Files\Winzip directory I make a WinRar archive,
RAR format , Compression method BEST , SFX archive, SOLID archive , with comment

and I name it WinZip90SR1.exe . whatever , is a name .
- UnInstall WInZip
- reboot machine for loose any trace of old WinZip installation.
Step 2 : cmd2[pn]=['"%ProgramFiles%\\winzip\\winzip32.exe" /noqp /autoinstall']
here is nothing new , just twenty minutes spent for choosing the right quotes inside.
Double quotes are very necessary there .
Step 3 : registerWinZip.reg is copy from the second post of @baliktad ,
just I remove the seven lines about ";Get rid of all those silly icons in the context menus" (I like a part of them)
Step 4 : Before run it you can look at the pathes above. use yours.

only for testing purposes , I use same files (including same serial)
on the other machine . worked fine .

I just tried this and it says the directory name is invalid.

That's because he meant to write %programdir% not "files" lol

For WPI create a directory in $OEM$ called $PROGS then copy a working copy of winzip into this $PROGS folder.

Then add the following line to your WPI

"%ProgramFiles%\winzip\winzip32.exe" /noqp /notip /autoinstall.

By the way does noybody knows how I can change the default icon for zip files to the usual winzip icon??

Okay, it really is %programfiles%. Just testing to see if you were awake! )

The normal WinZip icon is the first one in the winzip32.exe file. If you haven't installed Winzip, you could still access it through the file association. Go to Explorer menu, click on Tools / Folder Options, The click the File Types tab. Scroll down to zip. If it isn't there you can add it, but it shuld be there. Now Click the Advanced button and in the dialog box you'll see a Change Icon button. then you can choose any you like.

I believe you can do this through the registry under HKR where files associations are listed. I'd have to look further to get the exact key and values, but you should be able to get it from there.

hi guys...

i have a little suggest for you

winrar is a very good product it does rar and zip files

plus it is very easy to install silently.

cheers

Yes, that is true, AV, but I still have it on my machine. I tend to use WinRar and WinAce more though. WinAce will unzip multiple zips in one go with no complaint. 7zip is also good for the ultimate compression, but it leaves things in the context menu which you must remove manually. Not so good.

When I build an installation for someone else, sometimes I have to include things I myself never use (AIM or MSN messenger for example) because they or someone in their house (usually a child) insists on it. WinZip is a great tool and easy to use for most folks, and so it is often a good idea to include it.

While many of us here build unattendeds for ourselves, one of the best uses is helping out someone else who is daunted by the qhole installation process. Making it unattended takes a lot of the fear away. I do it more and more. I even create them for clients from their own media, so they can install if I'm not around. Things like the default homepage are dead easy, but make a big difference to a clueless client. So, gaining knowledge about programs we don't personally use or even recommend can be a benefit. Okay?

I made a prepacked winzip. you can find it in the applications forum

totally silent installer.

you can download it here

link doesn't work

Well, it's not that complicated,

make an SFX exe file of winzip folder with winrar with these options,

;The comment below contains SFX script commands

Path=WINZIP
SavePath
Setup=WINZIP32.EXE /noqp /autoinstall
Silent=1
Overwrite=1


and what u'll need to run the main executable only,

and then or before you can register using winzip.reg:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\WinIni]
"Name1"="Username"
"SN1"="Serial"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\WinZip]
"ShowTips"="0"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\WinIni]
"Setup"="1"

I read through this post and I was wondering why no one had posted the WinZip site here. They have a nice simple guide that explains all of the switches.

Try that.

Just got the latest version winzip10.0.6698

It looks like it doesn't surpport the slience install stuff. Also it pack with the
google AD stuff.

Somebody can make new install .cab or .exe to let it install quietly and smoothly?

Urmmm .. yes it does same as before.

Using the info in this thread I have just integrated the install and registration of WinZip 10.0.6698 in nLite!

Plasma,
Please tell us how you did it.

Thanks,
dare2001

method quoted here is exactly the only method for winzip. i hav made an installer with inno setup for wnzip10. it works fine.. ny1 who want that setup pls contact me... it will automatically register winzip..

Here is the winzip set

Thank you very mutch for this nice method

How about using the WinZip 11 MSI installer?

I just tested this string successfully:
MSIEXEC /I %systemdrive%\Install\winzip110.MSI ALLUSERS=TRUE ADDDESKTOPICON=0 ADDMENUGROUP=0 ADDSTARTMENU=0 INSTALLCMD="/noqp /noc4u /notip /nopredefinedjobs /autoinstall" INSTALLDIR="%ProgramFiles%\Tools\Archivers\WinZip" /QB

This installs WinZip without any desktop or start menu icons as well as no Quick Pick in the taskbar tray in the folder specified after INSTALLDIR.

Get the MSI here and read the FAQ here.

Merge the reg file with the serial and user information afterwards.

Worked fine for me.
