In windows one can extract a "self extracting exe" with winrar. I tried unrar and couldn't get it to do the same (perhaps I missed the right switch).
Anyone know the answer or have another solution?
Can I extract a self extracting exe without winrar?
This didn't workGuestToo wrote:unzip the-file-name.exe
To try it, I actually had to rename the file with a .zip extension.
This gives me an error also. I had to use the 'e' command and it says:GuestToo wrote:unrar the-file-name.exe
SP23107.rar is not a RAR archive.
I checked it out on google and it looks like some you can and some you can't. It depends on whether or not the zip/exe is created as a multi-disk archive:

Thanks for the offer, I appreciate the concern. I don't have a problem getting at the files on one of my windows machines. I was more currious from the aspect of just knowing how to do it from this os.Bruce B wrote:If you post the link to the file, I'll see what if anything I can do.
I'll have to check out wine some time soon. I have minGW and cygwin running under windows, so why not wine running under linux?
Wine gets better with age. Wine on Linux is usually an easy setup, the problem is wine on Puppy. I ran into some snags trying to get it working. It wasn't important enough to me to have it to work through the snags.John Doe wrote:I'll have to check out wine some time soon.

exe extraction
if you know the format is ZIP, under linux, "unzip thefile.exe" works, at least from newer versions.
I suppose unrar (or rar) and other will work the same way.
I remember a couple of years ago, most of these un(compressors) did not interpret the extra code of the EXE version.
But, unzip/unrar do the work nowadays
