This is only required when installing to “C:\” or “C:\Program Files”. These paths are usually write-protected by the operating system and reserved for administrator writing.

There are no restrictions on installation location. You may choose any available location on your local computer or network.

The WinZip Extractor will automatically create the target folder if it does not already exist.

The application will not crash. Data retrieval can take a few minutes depending on the length of the specified time-span. Keep in mind the application has to filter out your company’s data from all ASE client activity and return the results to you. The time required to do this can vary with Internet traffic levels and your company’s connection speed.
