can I use the latest version of WinZip (11.1 I think) with Windows 98SE?

Question

I have a friend who is very old and does not see the sense in buying a new PC and so is running Windows 98SE without WinZip.

I am trying to get him onto broadband and have needed to download some zipped files from his ISP in order to get the modem to work.

I can only seem to find the latest version of WinZip (11.1) for download for a free trial which will be ideal coz he'll only need it this one time.

What I need to know is if Windows 98SE will support this, as the WinZip site is crap and doesn't tell you anything other than V.11.1 now works well with Vista!!!

Answer 1

It SHOULD work, but I've never tested it. I know that 7-Zip and WinRAR work, however, so you could try those as well.

Answer 2

Most likely yes.
