extract zip files silently using batch file

Question

I have written the below bat file to extract the zip files. But this is not working when I execute it from Jenkins. I suspect that this is because since its trying to launch the copy UI and service is preventing from doing it as windows services dont allow to work with UIs. Is there a way to edit the below script to do the unzipping silently? If there are any other tools, please provide some example.

    @echo off
FOR /D %%p IN ("%CD%\Setups\*.*") DO rmdir "%%p" /s /q

call mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.4:get -DrepoUrl=http://10.101.15.190:8081/nexus/content/repositories/releases/ -Dartifact=k:update-service:1.0.3 -Ddest=Setups/Services/update-service.jar

for /r %%i in ("*.zip") do (
    Call :UnZipFile "%%~dpi" "%%~fi"
    del /S /Q "%%~fi"

exit \b

    if exist "%vbs%" del /f /q "%vbs%"
    endlocal

You should use 7zip tool. After you have installed it, you should use the following command.

"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" e "C:\myzipfile.7z" -o"C:\ExtractedFolder" *.* -r -y

or parameterize with batch file.

call "C:\\Scripts\\mycustombatch.bat" "%WORKSPACE%\\myzipfile.7z" "C:\\ExtractedFolder"

mycustombatch.bat

cd "C:\Program Files\7-Zip"
7z e %1 -o%2 *.* -r -y

7z.exe usage examples: http://www.dotnetperls.com/7-zip-examples

An option would be to use a PowerShell script instead, and use something like this:

function UnZip
{
    param([string]$zip, [string]$outpath)

    [System.IO.Compression.ZipFile]::ExtractToDirectory($zipfile, $outpath)
}
UnZip "D:\YourFile.zip" "D:\The_Path_You_Want_It_To_Be_Extracted"

This way you don't require any 3rd party tool to be installed on the build server.
