[.VBS or .BAT] Unzipping/Extracting

Not sure which way would be easier, I assume .BAT but I would prefer .VBS -

I have a file on a CD that I want to unzip, using either .BAT or .VBS

Say the file is E:\FOLDER\FILE.EXE (it's a extractable zip file)

any ideas?

-edit- best I can tell I need some sort of plugin to perform the action from CMD line, which isn't going to suffice :(

Try opening up a command prompt and doing "file /?". You might find it comes with some command line parameters :).
 
I have it sorted for the most part.

Basically what I am doing is silently installing the WinZip CMD-line utility first, pausing, then setting the PATH variable to where WinZip is stored, pausing, then extracting the files I need. Still a bit of cleanup to do, but the base functionality is there ;)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
