//  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 = true;

//  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 != true) {
    MessageBox.Show(zip.LastErrorText);
    return;
