Hello Stuckfree,

Yes, generally most of the software are available as extractable files. An easy way to identify this is that the software package will be available as an install .exe file. However, some software packages are also available as a bundle of various required files which contains the setup file.

Hello Stuckfree,

The self-extractor will extract all the files in the bundle.

Hi Allan,
You mean navigate to the Temp folder and look for a program folder name which I just installed and there will be all the files inside?

Regard,
Thanks.

Hello Stuckfree,

It is not necessary that the files will be extracted to the temp folder from the cabinet. Please reply with the name of the software that you are questioning about so that I can research further.
