Is there a command line tool that will allow you to extract .zip files. I
have a zip file that is on a cd that I need to use a batch file to extact to
a workstation temp file, run the programs within the zip file, then delete
the temp folder. thanks for your help!

Click to expand...

unzip.exe is out there for free.

Built into Windows XP?
No - not really.

and

rundll32.exe zipfldr.dll,RouteTheCall nameofzip.zip

Will *open* the file.. But no way I know to use it to compress/decompress
from the command line. I always just used PKUNZIP for that.

Get a 3rd party package such as WinZIP or IZARC.
 
Thanks for the reply Shenan. Once again I found a work around; I was able to
get the files that I wanted to zip onto a CD. However, I looked at your
solutions and they all would have solved my issue. Thanks!
