| 749924 | 2009-02-21 06:24:00 | I get a zipped program. When I open the zip I have one exe file. This exe installs the program which may contain nimerous folders each with it's files. Is there any way I can "get at" the included files without installing the whole program? |

| 749925 | 2009-02-21 06:29:00 | No, because even if you could the program would prob need registry values/keys to run... | Blam (54) | ||
| 749926 | 2009-02-21 06:30:00 | You would need to be able to reverse engineer the .exe. Possible but requires some coding skills. | pctek (84) | ||
| 749927 | 2009-02-21 06:32:00 | No, because even if you could the program would prob need registry values/keys to run... Don't want to run it. Just want to change a file or two. |

| 749928 | 2009-02-21 06:46:00 | Found This here (www.legroom.net) - says it will extract the contents - cant vouch for it - never tried it, YET ;) EDITED: Does work - heres the contents of Ccleaner (www.imagef1.net.nz) as well as the original exe file. Then to repackage it again after altering what ever - if using XP open "Run" type in iexpress.exe that opens hidden program in XP that allows you to make exe files. |

| 749929 | 2009-02-21 07:12:00 | may or may not work unzip to root level of C:\ go to a cmd prompt typein unziped.exe /? where unziped is replaced with the actual exe name. the software writter may have given the installer some switches and this method sometimes reveals those switches |

| 749930 | 2009-02-21 08:23:00 | Some self extracting files could be opened with 7zip (portableapps.com) (See attached photo) I suppose it depends on what they used to package the program. |
