Well, the installer itself needs to be decompressed to run. Most windows |
| 13 |
installers install the intermediate files in c:\windows\temp (which |
| 14 |
usually would be ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/temp. Some others create a |
| 15 |
temporal dir under c:\ (~/.wine/drive_c). It's a matter of firing |
| 16 |
up the installer and go looking around there with each step until |
| 17 |
you can find them. |

By the way, I've tried decompressing the file with 7z and it indeed |
| 21 |
extracts 6 files, however I have no idea what they contain. It must |
| 22 |
be the pieces that installshield chain together. I have no idea if |
| 23 |
it's possible to extract something from there or not. There's a big |
| 24 |
file called textually '[DATA]', which is the biggest one, so the |
| 25 |
stuff must be there. I guess that's the one containing the compressed |
| 26 |
files, the rest of the files must be the exe header and the install |
| 27 |
shield control into. However I haven't manager to decompress that |
| 28 |
'[DATA]' file using anything. |
