Install Software in Archive
The
Install feature in PicoZip makes it extremely easy to install software that
are distributed in archives. This feature is enabled only if an archive contains
a file named Setup.exe or
Install.exe that has
no stored path. This Install feature automatically extracts all files to a temporary
folder, then runs the setup program. Once the setup has completed, PicoZip automatically
deletes the temporary folder, including all extracted files.
How to Use Install
First, you need to open an archive in PicoZip. Then choose Install
from the Actions menu. A popup dialog box will ask you to confirm that
you want to proceed. Click the Yes button. PicoZip then extracts all
files to a temporary folder and runs the setup program. After you have
completed installing the software, go back to PicoZip and click the OK button
on the popup dialog box. Note: Do NOT click the OK button in the
last step before installation is completed. This is important because PicoZip
automatically deletes the temporary folder, including the extracted files once
you click the OK button.
If the Install menu item
is not enabled, but you recognize an installable file, you can use the Check
Out feature instead, and run the installable file from the Check Out window.
