    Is it possible to extract files from an .exe file?

    All the .exe does is install a few separate files.

    Usually an .exe file that installs a few files is a .zip executeable file... You may be able to extract them by opening winzip, and then opening the exe file through winzip... that might do the trick for you.

    Pour water on your keyboard, get frustrated, scream at computer, decide to put in new pool. Think you have enough money to buy new computer, discover the mason ate your bank account.

    If that doesn't work, PM me.

    Could be a corrupt .exe. Look for a program called Dragon unPACKer...that thing opens anything.
