The short: I am trying to get to files that are stored in .exe files.
The long: I have volunteered at the forums at the simtropolis website, for players of Sim City 4, to "repackage" .exe installers that they use there. Basically, there are many people over there creating new buildings, lots, etc, and instead of just providing the actual files (which need to be placed in a plugins folder in the SC4 directory) they are making .exe installers that automatically place the files. I need some way to get into the .exe's and extract the files out of them. So far I have been using my work PC to run the installers, search out the files, put them in a folder and then zip or stuffit them. There's gotta be an easier way, and a way that wont get me in trouble at work!
Thanks.
Edit: No I dont have Virtual PC, and that wouldn't matter, I am looking for a solution I can pass on to other Mac users at Simtropolis.
