ZipInstaller, install programs that do not include automatic installer

Our friend José, through the Contact form, share us a useful solution for install programs that do not have an automatic installer, a problem that some users have given us a headache on more than one occasion. I therefore quote verbatim its wording.

Sometimes we find compressed programs in ZIP format, who are coming without the function of automatic installation, and this is usually a problem for some users who are not very experienced in this type of issue.

However, the solution comes from the hand of NirSoft and his little toolfreeware, as always) call ZipInstaller, with which to install this type of program will not represent more difficulty than making a couple of clicks. Let's see then.

ZipInstaller

    1. First we download ZipInstaller from the official site, 38 Kb.
    1. We create a folder in Program files called ZipInstaller, and we copy it there. We downloaded the Spanish translation file, which is at the bottom of the page, and already using the contextual menu, we will start using ZipInstaller to send the translator to the program folder. We already have ZipInstaller in Spanish and in the context menu.

Now, every time we have a ZIP program, all we will have to do is create a destination folder in Program Files, giving it the name of the program we want to install, and navigate through the ZipInstaller interface to select the folder that we are interested in it, and it will automatically install the shortcuts, users, installers, uninstallers and everything we are used to seeing in a common installation 😉

Thanks José for the contribution!

    NirSoft creates very useful tools, but their icons are so ugly… 😛

    I agree, in programming, size does matter, the lighter the application and the fewer resources it consumes, the better it will be for the user 😎

    They aren't ugly, some are awful, and Windows Classic windows… x (
    But therein lies the greatness of these micro-applications, in the lack of frills and superfluous objects, sacrificing aesthetics in pursuit of functionality and efficiency.
    Other programs that carry out similar work are weighed in Mb, those of Nir, in some Kb ...

    jojo or what to say about his own screenshots, the good Nir Sofer maintains the classic style of programmers 🙂

    Happy 2013 Fitoschido!
