Software distribution

Using the software distribution wizard have solved many issues for me but this could be improved if BES woud understand the .zip format by default.

As it it now it becomes very troublesome if you have a large zip file that you want to copy to a client. Since you either need to repackage the zip file with the built in packing tool (which is very slow) or have to send along the winzip command line tool to unzip the file at the destination.

If BES had an unzip command built in that would a lot easier.

Hi Bjorn,

Here is an action command that can help you unzip files using a freely available utility:

// download unzip extractor
download http://software.bigfix.com/download/redist/unzip-5.52.exe
continue if {(size of it = 167936 and sha1 of it = “e1652b058195db3f5f754b7ab430652ae04a50b8”) of file “unzip-5.52.exe” of folder “__download”}

waithidden __download\unzip-5.52.exe -o -j “” -d “”
