My version of Winzip 16.5 stopped responding. I double-clicked it to start, and nothing happened.
I uninstalled it, followed the steps for manual removal (http://kb.winzip.com/kb/entry/244/), downloaded the latest version and reinstalled it.
I also deleted the Winzip folder from ‘C:\Programdata’. A search of the harddrive shows no matches for ‘winzip’.
Although the reinstall ended with ‘Winzip has been successfully installed’, the same problem occurs: I double-click it to start it, but nothing happens.
Does anybody have any ideas how to fix this problem?
I too would be getting rid of winzip (not trying to resolve the problem), there are plenty of other options that are as good or better (and free), I abandoned winzip many years ago it just got too bloated and they started charging for it. I fine 7zip an excellent archive tool, very easy to use and good compression in a small footprint.
This link http://www.downloadcrew.co.uk/article/295-winzip shows some other options and 7zip is one another is PeaZip which essexboy uses. Either of these I would choose over winzip and they are free.
