I get a dialogue that pops up momentarily. It says invalid arguments usage: uninstall.exe [?] application_name [GUID]

So it looks like the uninstaller is broken. Try to uninstall WinZip from the Control Panel and see if it uninstall the File Association Helper along with it.

So the File Association Helper program is gone? If it is, you can delete the WinZip folder now :)

I guess I'll use 7zip or Peazip instead.
