Hi,

> When done unzipping open: setup.exe
This sounds common as per one would expect. Is this a dual attempt within
the same .exe? Either way, if this .exe is an update that the program has
picked up on as per the code is written to ask, then the latter is even more
common. Many programs offer multiple options. As an example: Run the
..exe, show the help files, show the extracted files, etc.
Send me a zip file in/of question (via email) and I will find the options
via the registry for you. Note: I do use default XP Zip folders.
