These URLs are the ones Corel Corporation declares in its own manifest. We do not proxy or shorten them, and we do not host a copy.

Verify the file you downloaded

Run this against the file on disk. If the output does not match the hash below, the file is not what Corel Corporation published. Delete it.

Install WinZip silently

This installer is an MSI package, so it takes the standard Windows Installer switches. That is a property of MSI itself rather than something the publisher declared.

64-bit · machine scope · MSI convention

msiexec /i "winzip290-64.msi" /qn /norestart

Run it from the folder holding the downloaded file, in a terminal opened as administrator when the package installs for all users. Silent means no window and no prompts, so check the exit code rather than waiting for something to appear: 0 is success and 3010 means it worked but wants a reboot.

Old versions of WinZip3 with hashes

The version history of WinZip, each release with the download URL the publisher declared at the time and the SHA-256 to check it against. Useful when an update breaks something and you need to downgrade to a build that worked.

We do not host any of these files and never re-upload them, which is the difference between this and an old-version download site.

Publishers take old builds offline without warning, so a link here can stop working even though the hash stays correct forever. If you already have the file, the hash is what matters: it tells you whether what you have is what they published.
