Description
"ZIP
2 Secure EXE"
is a utility program that creates self-extracting ZIP files
for
Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP. Self-extracting ZIP files are executable
programs (EXEs) that contain a ZIP file and the software necessary
to unzip the contents. Users can unzip the contents of a self-extracting
ZIP simply by running it like any other program. No other software
is needed.
What
Can You Do With This Program?
-
The encryption
that you get with Zip utilities, including WinZip, is weak
and easily broken. This utility allows you to strongly encrypt
your ZIPs and at the same time makes it easy to unzip on any
computer.
-
Use this
utility to backup your security sensitive and important documents.
As long as your password is secret, your files are safe.
-
Create software
installations that only licensed customers will be able to
install.
Unique
Features
"ZIP
2 Secure EXE"
provides features that may not be found in other self-extractors:
- Up
to 256-bit Strong AES Encryption.
It can safely encrypt the contents of your ZIP file with 128,
192, or 256-bit AES Encryption. To unzip, a user must provide
the same password that was used when creating the self-extracting
EXE. AES encryption is much stronger than standard ZIP encryption,
which is regarded by security experts as being unsecure.
- Streaming
Technology.
Chilkat's streaming compression and encryption
technology allows it to create an EXE from any size ZIP file.
The streaming compression and decryption technology also ensures
that it will be possible to unzip the archive on your end-user's
computer, even if that computer has very little memory.
- Progress
Indicators.
A progress bar is displayed during the
unzip process so your end-user can decide whether there is time
to get a cup of coffee while his computer is unzipping an especially
large ZIP file.
- Run
from DOS in a Batch File. Pass
the Zip filename by itself on the command line to create an
EXE with no user interaction.
- Unzip
to a Temp Directory and Run a Setup EXE. When
creating the EXE, you can choose a Setup EXE to run after unzipping.
You can also have the it automatically choose a Temp directory
for unzipping, without user interaction.

How
to Create a Non-Encrypted Self-Extracting EXE

an EXE, then click Create. If your ZIP was named "myApp.zip",
then an EXE named "myApp.exe" will be created in the
same directory.
How
to Create an AES Encrypted Self-Extracting EXE
Use the
Browse button to find the ZIP you want to convert into
an EXE. Select an encryption key-length (128 bit, 192 bit, or
256 bit), enter a password, and then click Create. If your
ZIP was named "myApp.zip", then an EXE named "myApp.exe"
will be created in the same directory. The created EXE will only
unzip if you enter the same password.
How
to Create a Self-Extracting EXE that Automatically Unzips to a
Temp Directory and Runs a Setup Program
In addition
to the instructions above for creating an encrypted or non-encrypted
self-extracting EXE, you should enter the name of the setup program
found in the Zip, and check the checkbox as shown in the screen
shot above. As an example, if your Zip contains the files as shown
below, you would enter "setup.exe" in the "Run
this program" dialog text box.
