Beware that those .exe which Bartimaeus mention are normal zip/rar/7zip archves combined with executable header in order to create self-extracting archive. Only those can be extracted by 7zip, all other windows exe are normal executable binary data which can't be accessed. Quote Link to comment

Bartimaeus Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Yep, almost all even semi-modern ones as far as I'm aware. There may be (and probably are) exceptions that I'm unaware of, though. Quote Link to comment
