Installing WinZip for Windows 3.1


1. First you'll need to download the program. In order to do that, hold down the Shift key on your keyboard and (while holding down the Shift key), click here.

2. A window titled Save As appears. In the box on the right-hand side, note what directory is selected (it should be the Netscape directory).

3. Once the file is done downloading, go to the main Windows' screen, go to the Main group and double click on the File Manager icon.

4. Go to File--Search and a window pops up asking what file you want to search for. Type in winzip31.exe.

5. Click on Ok. A new window should appear in File Manager with the file winzip31.exe in it. Double click on the file.

6. A window pops up basically asking what you want to do. Click on Setup.

7. Another window pops up asking where you want to install WinZip. The default directory is c:\winzip. That will work well enough, so click on Ok.

8. The install program then installs the files to the directory specified above.

9. Once the files have been copied, the Setup Wizard starts. The main screen just lists the features of the program. Click on Next.

10. Next a license agreement box pops up. Here you can click on View License Agreement to see the terms and conditions. Either way, the program won't finish installing until you click on Yes to accept the agreement.

11. A new window pops up asking you what interface you want to use with Winzip. Select "Start with WinZip Classic" and click on Next.

12. The window changes to asking you about the rest of the setup. Make sure "Express setup" is selected and click on Next.

13. The final window tells you that the setup is done. Click on Finish.

14. You now have successfully installed WinZip. The WinZip program window should come up. Go ahead and close it and you should be set to go.
