Welcome to the WinZip Wizard

The WinZip® Wizard simplifies the process of creating, updating, unzipping and installing software distributed in Zip files using the standard and familiar "wizard" interface. Features include:

  • Fast access to Zip files you downloaded: no need to use Windows Explorer or My Computer to hunt for Zip files. The Wizard lists the Zip files in your "Favorite Folders" by date, with the most recent files first, so you can quickly access the files you just downloaded. The search feature can find any Zip files lost on your hard drive.
  • Automatic installation of software distributed in Zip files: if a Zip file contains a "setup" or "install" program, just click "Unzip and Install". The Wizard will unzip the files, run the installation program, and clean up any temporary files. Special Wizards make installation of desktop themes and screen savers a snap.
  • Easy unzipping: just click "Unzip Now" and the Wizard will unzip your file. It will display the results in Windows Explorer, so you can start working with the new files right away.
  • Simple step-by-step Wizard assistance in creating new Zip files and updating existing Zip files.

The full WinZip Classic interface is only a click away.

The best way to learn the Wizard is to use it--just click the Next button in the Wizard to proceed. Press the F1 key or click Help at any time to get help on a specific screen.
