I dont have winzip installed so i cant confirm, but winrar gives you the option to extract to...which prompts for a folder.

Then just run the setup from within the folder you've extracted to. Do not double click on the zipfile.

If you do double click, when it options the zip there should be an icon called extract, click this and specify a folder to extract the files to then close winzip.

Find the folder which you just created and run the setup from within that.
