WinZip Self-Extractor 3.0 creates self-extracting Zip files. These self-extracting Zip files are ideal for electronic file distribution, because they can contain multiple compressed files, minimizing download time and ensuring that important files do not become separated from the rest of the package, and allow the receiver to use a familiar Windows interface to decompress files without a separate unzip utility. WinZip Self-Extractor 3.0 is a companion product to WinZip and is separately licensed. The current release of WinZip contains WinZip Self-Extractor Personal Edition, a subset of WinZip Self-Extractor 3.0.
