It also could be in:

c:\Documents and Settings\<user_name>\Local 
Settings\Temp\<temporary_installation_folder>

or it may be in a subfolder of said application within:

c:\Program Files\<application name>\<installation_subfolder>

If you know what the name of the 64bit file is you can run search on c:\ while 
the installation executable is running.

BTW, the unzip command should be run on Linux rather than MS Windows.
