To augmment Tore (a little):
Heres a WScript routine - full paths are important - if you are saving to an Inetpub folder, I have found that prefixing the full path with "\\.\" is very helpful.

* Go local to the default GET ZIP folder
CD (["]+ucRootDirectory+["]) && Assure root
CD (["]+FULLPATH(ucGetZip_Path)+["]) && ucGetZip_Path=Zip "pickup" folder
ucGetUnZipFilePath=GETFILE([ZIP],[Default 'GET' zip folder],[Get Zip],0,[Select ZIP File])
ucWZC_Path="C:\PROGRAM FILES\WINZIP\"
lcUnZipFileName=JUSTFNAME(ucGetUnZipFilePath)
lcUnZipPathName=JUSTPATH(ucGetUnZipFilePath)+[\]
* Go local to the final resting place of the zip file
CD (["]+lcZipToFullPathFolder+["]) && Go local to zips arhive root folder.
cUnZipToFolder=SET('DIRE') && Make sure VFP is in the tube
oWS=newOBJECT("WScript.Shell")
oWS.Run(["]+ucWzc_Path+[wzunzip" -d ]+ucGetUnZipFilePath+[ "]+cUnZipToFolder+[\"],1,.t.)

Did the Shell solution make your DOS window a child of a VFP form?
