Thanks for your reply.

I am using a registered copy. What I want can actually be done with the WZUNZIP command line utility that I can run from VFP.

However, what I want is distribute the self-extracting EXE and run the self-extractor from within a VFP app without showing that default window where users can change the target folder. It must run on machines with no WINZIP installed; WZUNZIP needs to have WINZIP installed on the machine.

>Are you using the registered one. If so, the settings you're able to set when making the .exe should give you enough power to do so. Be sure to put a dot . in the default folder.

Instead, I'd like to run the self-extractor from my VFP application and pass parameters for the target folders and settings.
