WinZip 8.x Setup

This handout will walk you through the installation of WinZip 8.x. WinZip is software designed to decompress files that have been "zipped" or have the *.zip file extension.

Before you begin:

This document assumes that your machine is a part of CUE (Common User Environment). If you are not a member of CUE, instructions are provided here: Configuring Windows NT for CUE , Configuring Windows 2000 for CUE and Configuring Windows XP for CUE
It is recommended that you print out these instructions before you install WinZip.

Installing WinZip 8.x :

Click on the Start menu, Programs then select Jlab - Cue, Client Installed Programs, and then click on WinZip 8.0 Setup.
The first window that you will see is for choosing a destination directory for installation. The default directory is fine. Click OK to continue.

WinZip will now install to the directory you chose. After installation, you will see a "Thank You" window appear. Click Next to continue.

The next window is the license agreement. Click Yes to continue.

The next setup window will ask you which kind of WinZip you would like to run. Click the button next to "Start with WinZip Classic" and click Next.

The next setup window asks which type of setup you would like to run. Click the button next to "Express setup (recommended)" and click Next.

The following screen is the completion screen. Click Finish to finalize setup.

Automatically, WinZip will start. On the "WinZip Tip of the Day" window, change the pull-down menu to say "Never show tips at startup" and click Close.

Now you can close WinZip by clicking the "X" in the upper-right corner of the window.

Finally, you will need to close the program group for WinZip that appeared. Do this by clicking the "X" in the upper-right corner of the window.

WinZip 8.x installation is now complete.
