Actually, if all you're doing is zipping up local web pages, and not distributing a program, take a look at WinZip's Self-Extractor version 2.1.
http://www.winzip.com/other.htm
It allows you to create zip files for software installation, and it's free shareware. I use it all the time. It's great! You can also get it to run programs after the unzip...
By the way, that batch file is here: https://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/qShow.jsp?ta=visualbasic&qid=10262896

i am going to go ahead and give you the points although i have been too busy to try what u last posted i want to but my priorities are a mess right now
Glad you graded it before the "AutoGrader" graded it... I Just got a bunch of autograded questions. I don't know if you know it or not, but when the "AutoGrader" runs, it grades the question as if you accepted the answer as a "C"...
Thanks again!

basically i want to install a local web to my pc and other friends of mine pc's if I zip all of the HTML documents by going into the frontpage98 directory of frontpage/webs/myweb and then select all files zipping them putting them on the cd along with the batch file that should install and be able to unzip ?
considering it is not just on diskettes anymore is there a way I could do this through V.B. ? with an install shield wizard etc...
