You can use a program like 7-Zip to extract the contents of an exe file. http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

You can try to use 7-Zip, alternatively launch the EXE but do not click through the installer, you'll usually find the extracted contents at %TEMP% location.

  • Additionally, you can use command line and use the /extract or /admin to launch the program in Administrator install which allows you to extract the files instead of install to an alternative location.

Another solution that works well is to use the free Sysinternals Process Monitor (procmon) tool.  Launch it and have it monitor the installer's process (e.g., setup.exe).  Then launch the installer and leave it running.  Process Monitor will watch as the executable extracts the MSI/MST/MSP file and tell you where it was extracted to.  Then you browse to that location with Windows Explorer and grab the file from there by copying it to a safe location.
