>I have a collection of files created by Install Shield (I think) that when executed will install an application. I have added the files to a ZIP archive to make the files easier to download from the internet. My problem now is that I will have to write instruction explaining how to extract the files from the ZIP archive and explaining how to dbl-click the setup.exe file (I probably have to further explain which file is the setup.exe file if they have turned off the extension for known file types).

Personaly, I use WinRAR, but I doubt that with WinZip would be more difficult to do what you want to do. Just create a SFX archive and set setup.exe in Run after extractiion. (These are setting in WinRar).

UPDATE: I am sorry for speaking without knowing. But OI realy think that both products are similar. I just visit WinZip page and realise that they have WinZip Self-Extractor 2.2 http://www.winzip.com/prodpagese.htm :o(
