Self-extracting zip files and powerpoint slide show

[Guest]

I want to send my pps to somebody via emai. I packaged for cd and created a
folder which I then zipped. I want to make it so that when the recipient
double clicks the zip file, it automatically unzips and then runs the pps. I
used the command that winzip says to use when creating the sef-extracting
file but it doesn't work. I get the error message, "Error 2, running command
filename". Can anyone help? I'm trying to impress a possible future boss.
Thanks.

I doubt you would be able to automatically run a file when double-clicking
the zipped version. Who knows what type of malicious code and viruses could
be sent that way!

All they have to do is double-click the zipped file, then double-click the
PPS file shown and it will run.
