Unattended Install: WinZip 9.0/10.0

This works best if you have a registered copy of WinZip (You may be using WinZip.wzmul in your environment for registration). I usually perform a standard install to a source machine then take a copy of the program files, by default stored in %ProgramFiles%\WinZip.

UPDATE (29/01/2007): Updated with commands to delete icons on Windows Vista/Longhorn

@ECHO OFF
ECHO WinZip 10.0
MD "%ProgramFiles%\WINZIP"
XCOPY /E /V /C /Q /H /R /Y *.* "%ProgramFiles%\WINZIP"
