Default ZIP Folders and CAB Files are CORRUPTED.

The ZIP Folders on my computer have being corrupted ever since installing
WinZIP.
Upon uninstalling because it was of no use to me, it removed the ZIP file
extension.

What is the command line for the ZIP folders archive?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAB files are corrupted now also because CABINET.exe is missing. Anywhere to
download it so I can install it on my Windows 98 computer?

John.

To get access to your cabinet files, see he

HOW TO: Extract Original Compressed Windows Files

The command lines for unzipping your ZIP files depends on the utility you
will be using to do the unzipping. If WinZip won't work with them, then
there's some problem with the files, and just using the command line instead
of the Windows interface won't help.

What was the error that WinZip was reporting with these files?
