download a zip file and automatically extract the files in it and run the exe file in it.is this possible? if yes please let me know.
 
hi

if u r using winzip, it is not possible with the usual version. u need another version called professional or classic or something(i dont remember, check winzip site). with that u can specify a program that'll run when the unzipping is over.
if u r trying to distribute ur program, use some packaging wizard like install shield, or the padkage & deployment wizard that comes free with visual basic.

hope i helped u.

luv
Karthik.
