free unpack software

[rfwdwork]

I download a program that is a ***.exe file, I double click on the file and it unpacks to a temp file, then a installation window opens to start installing the software. What I am wondering is there a free program to unpack the file , or how can I unpack it and save it.

Hi, everybody who responded to my initial question. I tried universal extract, but it came up with an error. So I then downloaded 7zip, and instead it and it unpacked it with out any problem. From I can gather by looking at the different files it is installsheild for windows, and my question is, can I use an integrator to integrate the update since it uses the same type of installer, or if not can some one tell me if it is even possible? Thanks again.
