Thanks for your reply Paul. So, if I understand, a
windows binary
installation package .exe isn't like a nix binary like
.deb or .rpm?
I thought it was, well sort of anyway.
What exactly is mscompress/msexpand supposed to do?
I want to extract some icons from an MSN_Messenger.exe
binary package. Is there no way to do that?
Sorry if I have misunderstood.
Best regards.
