'  This example creates a .exe that downloads the .zip from
'  http://www.chilkatsoft.com/testData/testWithSetup.zip,
'  unzips it, and runs the setup.exe contained within.
'  This is an actual URL that can be tested. The setup.exe
'  is a do-nothing program that simply displays a dialog box
'  with an "OK" button.
zip.ExeSourceUrl = "http://www.chilkatsoft.com/testData/testWithSetup.zip"

'  Set the AutoTemp property to create an EXE that
'  extracts to an auto-chosen temp directory:
zip.AutoTemp = 1

'  Indicate the file within the .zip that should be run after
'  extraction:
'  Note: You may download the .zip at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/testData/testWithSetup.zip
'  and examine it. You'll see that the "setup.exe" has a path
'  within the .zip, therefore you must specify the path as it
'  exists within the .zip:
zip.AutoRun = "bin/setup.exe"

'  Indicate that we do not want a main dialog, but we *do* want
'  a progress dialog.
zip.SetExeConfigParam "ShowMain","0"
zip.SetExeConfigParam "ShowProgress","1"

'  Customize the progress dialog:
zip.SetExeConfigParam "ProgressTitle","This is the progress dialog title"
zip.SetExeConfigParam "ProgressCaption","This is the progress dialog caption"

'  Write "mySfx.exe"
success = zip.WriteExe("mySfx.exe")
If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write zip.LastErrorText & "<br>"

End If
