I need help creating a self extracting zip file that does not display anything. I just need it to extract the files to a given place in the background. Everything I have found displays a dialog, but I need it to just run in the background.

If you don't mind using a command line program, you can try here:

http://www.info-zip.org/UnZip.html

It's based on ZLib, a free (BSD-like) zip and unzip library.

I recommend using 7Zip. It can handle more than just zip format, has a command line making it easy to integrate with python or vb scripts.

you can use python's zipfile module, and call extract or extractAll method with specified directory....
