Command line switch for extracting .zip files

[Guest]

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!

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!
