Can I customize the WinZip Self-Extractor dialog box?

The WinZip Self-Extractor Personal Edition dialog box is not customizable.

Self-Extractors for Software Installation created by WinZip Self-Extractor 3.1 include options for improved automation and customization for software installation, including the ability to specify text for the self-extractor's dialog box. The WinZip Self-Extractor 3.1 Wizard guides you through these customization options when you create a Self-Extractor for Software Installation. The dialog box text for a Standard Self-Extractor is not customizable.

For both Standard and Software Installation Self-Extractors, you can create a greeting box that is displayed when the self-extractor is executed. You can also specify text for the "About" box shown when the user clicks that "About" command button in the self-extractor's dialog box and specify the icon shown in the self-extractor's dialog box.
