Unzip .exe files

Hi,
does anybody know if it is possible to unzip windows self-extracting zip files (.exe) fro a jave program, and if yes, how to do this.
Thanks,
Andr�

If you are certain it's running on a windows machine and you know where the .exe file is, you could probably use Runtime.exec to have it start up the .exe. You won't have any control over it once you start it up, that that should bootstrap it for you.
Good luck

Okay, so, fast forward from July to now -
- I've visited my closest Apple store's genius bar twice now. (Over an hour and a half away.)
- My computer spent at least 8 hours behind their closed doors in the workshop
- Several complete erases of the harddrive have taken place
- Most of the Apple geniuses I dealt with were nice and very knowledgeable, but they were and still aren't 100% sure exactly what is wrong with my computer.
The good news is:
- They were able to at least get it running again, with a clean install from their servers of OS X Lion 10.7.5
- They believe that my problems stem from either 1 of 2 things:
- Faulty Hard Drive (even though it is brand new)
- The wrong build of software being installed.
Now, while the wrong build does seem like it could be the problem, it doesn't make sense in the aspect that all of the initial problems began when the first hard drive failed. The same problems continued when I changed out the failed hard drive with the brand spanking new one, and only slightly improved when I was able to successfully install the OS that came with the original disks for my computer. I'm not convinced this thing is back to normal, but hopefully I can make it last through getting a shiny new retina Macbook Pro in the coming future. Thank you so much to everyone who read and replied to this post!

How do: Unzip an .exe file (a firmware update for a Samsung TV) and what is the best unzip software to use...Thanks

Mac Book Pro 15" (mid 209) LION OS 10.7.5, Samsung instructions from their website: download firmware update. Doubleclick on USB and unzip file. (I dont have any unzip software as of yet; at least I dont think I do, because when I attempt to unzip the file, a page pops up that looks like hieroglyphics)
Thanks in advance.

You cannot open .exe files on a Mac. Was there no .dmg file, or something on Samdung's website about a download for Mac? Seems typical of Samdung to do things like this.

How do I instal Windows 7 in bootcamp from an .exe file?

I have to instal Windows 7 on my mac for school. Since I'm a student Microsoft has given me a free download of Windows, but is was an .exe file.
I guess I will have to find a way to make an image file of it, but I have no idea how.... Can anyone help?

Sounds like you have a Volume License of Windows that was downloaded from Microsoft.
You should be able to unzip the .exe (yes, I know it sounds incorrect, but the .exe is a self-extracting archive) using unzip command in terminal or you could try renaming the .exe to .zip, then unzipping it. Never tried it using your specific file, but it is worth a shot.
Try Googling "Extract .exe on Mac" if you need clarification.
Hope that helps!

Oracle 9iLite download setup.exe file does not work

Like many people (I am discovering more by the minute), I am unable to install 9i Lite.5.01. When the setup.exe file is triggered, a hourglass appears for a second, then nothing...
I am installing on a windows 2000 terminal server, therefore I have to go through (Control Panel) Add/Remove Programs. The Oracle Universal Installer says that setup.exe is either a directory or is corrupt.
I have tried a couple of fixes suggested in this forum, such as unzipping the files to /install/disk, but to no avail. I have also tried downloading the software again, but with the same results.
Is there anyone out there who has successfully overcome this problem ?

Yes, there has been a problem reported with setup.exe on the Pentium 4 processor.
To overcome the problem, copy the contents of the CD on to your hard drive.
Then search for every occurence of the file symcjit.dll under the base directory where u have copied from your CD.
and rename them to symcjit.old.
Then launch setup.exe.
This should take care of the problem

NI unzip changes file date and time stamp

A coworker this morning asked me about the NI-Unzip VI.
It turns out that when the NI unzip VI unzips a file it changes the file dates to the date the file was unzipped.
He also noted that NI-Unzip seems to be calling the Windows touch.exe to do this.
The diagram for NI unzip is locked and password protected so his attemp to change this action blocked.
Does anyone know a way around this? Either to make the NI Unzip stop changing the file date or the passwork to teh unzip vi?

Hi,
I don't think NI will give you a password for it's protected functions...
So you can:
- use "System Exec" with a command line version of a ZIP tool of your choice to unzip files
- make your own "Unzip" VI with calls to a "unzip"-DLL of your choice
Choose the one that is easier to implement for you

Create .exe file for core java project

how can i create .exe file or wrapper for my core java project

cotton.m wrote:
To be honest with you this is going to be very difficult at best.
And I'm not sure it's entirely realistic or legal. You'll need to install Tomcat and MySQL and all your stuff...Haven't ever tried doing so, but I think it might be quite possible sollution...
There's a preconfigured version of Tomcat, that you simply unzip on the drive (so there's no nned of running installator).
If OP would use some MySQL server's clone, that needs no installation (some time ago i was looking for thing like thatand found couple of those).
All configuration (installing services etc.) as well as copying JSPs and other stuff to Tomcat dirs can be made with script files (.bat or whatever) or under another java application that will run all the commands...
As cotton.m wrote... if it works, it's going to be hell lot of work...

SSIS Execute Process Task to Unzip Remote Files

I have created an SSIS Execute Process Task to unzip files on a remote server.
Executable: \\servername\c$\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip\7z.exe
Arguments: -o\\servername\d$\DBFiles\ -y x \\servername\d$\DBFiles\somefile.zip
The zip file size is about 40MB.
The SSIS task runs very slowly, close to 5 minutes. I know it should not take this long. When I remote logon to the server and run the 7z program to unzip the same file, it unzips in less than 10 seconds.
It seems that the way it is set up now, it constantly sending instructions back and forth from my PC to the server when I run the SSIS package on my PC.
I have 50 files of varying sizes that need to be processed daily. The SSIS unzip task takes 2 hours just to unzip these files.
How should I set up the SSIS Execute Process Task so that it can unzip files on remote server efficiently?
Many thanks in advance

The reason is that the files contain data that need to be loaded to the database. So, the zipped data files are copied to the server where the database lives. The SSIS package unzips the files and loads the database. The SSIS package is stored on the same
server. The server lives in the remote data centre.
My team run the SSIS package using Managament Studio running their PCs in the office, which is a different location to the data centre.
Since the package and files live on the same remote server, I would have thought that that would not be an issue. But the fact that we run the package locally means that the package is executed locally.
My goal is to put the zipped data files on the server, unzip the files, load data to a database on a remote server. I need to allow my team of 4 to be able to use Management Studio to run the SSIS packages to do the above. Would I be better off Remote
Desktop connecting to the server and execute the package there?
I will check out the PowerShell option.

Where is the setup.exe file

So that we may better diagnose DOWNLOAD problems, please provide the following information.
I have downloaded the files and unziped them to their respective folders. But can not find the setup.exe file on Disk 1.
- Server name
- Filename
- Date/Time
- Browser + Version
- O/S + Version
- Error Msg

The PL/SQL error you have are from runing the program. You have a syntax error in your sql (the statement would have been fine in MS SQL Server, or Sybase). The statement should read in Oracle:
INSERT INTO v_cnt
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT followup_num)
FROM patient_data
WHERE patient_id = i_patient_id
Also if you are using JDBC to connect to the database you should not need the ';' at the end.

Photoshop Elements 12 DVD contains no setup.exe file, just setup.xml files, won't install

Newly opened boxed copy of Photoshop Elements 12 won't install on new installation of Win 8.1. Turned off virus checking (which shouldn't be necessary), Searched files on DVD, unzipping payload files, including the temporary Premier software, and there are on setup.exe files anywhere. Tried viewing XML files with browser, which readers xml. Don't have time to investigate Adobe install procedure, which appears pretty sophisticated (I've written a few years ago). Any clues?

Thanks mytaxsite. Yes, I bought it at Costco, and of course have the serial number on the box. I'm a Microsoft developer, and searched the DVD, copying the contents to a hard drive and unzipping the "payload" files. I understand folder viewing filters and found lots of setup.xml files, which I could have used, with some difficulty, to see where Adobe wanted to put things. But Adobe knows its installation procedure better than I ever will, and so tried to get tech support. I even have full Photoshop CS5 on an adjacent machine, used by my daughter, but wanted to have basic editing functionality on a machine I use for film scanning.
I never allow anything to be installed without a dialog, whether from my own or a removable storage device. The Windows loader apparently didn't detect autoloading functionality and only offered me the options of viewing files and trying to find multimedia, if I recall (which, since it was irrelevant, I didn't note precisely). I just wanted to see the files anyway, at which point I was puzzled by the lack of setup.exe. I did, as Adobe suggested, disable my virus scanning software, but not my firewall. It made no difference, and I expected none. Though I've found no legitimate software that couldn't be loaded with virus scanning enabled.
I suspect your suggestion that I download fresh software from Adobe is the correct one. It is what I expected Adobe Technical support to suggest. Having some confidence in this newish machine, with its newish, and almost unused, BluRay/DVD burner, and my care handling DVDs, I was guessing at some xml-based installation procedure that I might need to install. Few Costco customers, not in the software business would know where to look, so I'm curious about how Adobe could ship something lacking the old-fashioned setup.exe, twenty+ year old technology based on the DOS shell? On the other hand, if there are new standards for installation scripts, I would like to know what they are using.

Exe file: Trying to open

I have (had) an exe file on desktop that i tried to open with Vista / Fusion / Bootcamp with no success. Then tried another approach following these instructions:
Directions for Use
* If the .exe file did not download to your desktop, move it there.
* Go to the Utilities folder on your Mac.
* Open Terminal. Verify that you're at the root of your computer.
* Type cd Desktop and press Return.
* Type unzip filename.exe, where "filename" is the name of the downloaded file. Press Return.
* Once Terminal is done inflating the file(s) to the desktop, quit Terminal.
* Open the new file with the appropriate application.
Didn't work: terminal told me it couldn't find it or something similar. I closed terminal and now there is an image of the document on desk top but no name or discription.
Any suggestion on what to do?
And was this the correct way to open exe?
thanks for any help!!!

A *.exe file can only be opened under Microsoft Windows. If you have tried opening the file using Windows (whether on a boot camp partition and/or Fusion) and it did not open then something is wrong with file. Contact the sender/author of the file and see what the issue is. The file is probably corrupt. Get another copy of the file which is clean.

I'm not sure what this question has to do with Apple's Software Update for Windows...a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, but if .exe files can only be opened in Windows. So if you're having issues with a file I suggest you contact the author of the file or post your question on an Windows discussion forum, as what you're seeing has really nothing to do with Macs.

Can not see cFP-2220 after creating an exe file

I am using a cFP-2220 with LabView 2011. I can see the cFP-2220 with Max, the program I created runs in my PC but the data from the cFP-2220 it is slow to up date.
I access the cFP-2220 thru the network terminal and a net card in my PC.
I have created an EXE file to run in the PC for that test stand as a stand along program. The program runs but it does not see the cFP-2220 or any of the data been collected. The test stand PC does have MAX install. When I run MAX in the stand PC it sees the cFP-2220 and can read the data from the modules the PC is wire to the cFP-2220 thru a net card.

Sorry for the delay to respond... I do have installed the minimun files that are available Field Piont 6.0.10 and LabView RT 11 is part of them.
I also using share variables. The program VI runs fine in my PC but when I create the exe file and deploy on the test stand it asks fot the location of the FPLV,dll and the NI_TGT.dll and it can not read or write to any of the DAQmx vi's.
I accidently remove one my FP-SG-140 from the list of inputs, I did put it back but I damage how the share variables weere working I am getting and error -1950679023 and it does not see any of my inputs.
I have another question how do I down load the variables to the cFP-2220 that is another erros that shows up when I installed other files into the cFP.

Download stops/stuck at 99%...only .exe files

whenever (from last 2 years) i try to download an binay file .exe file...the download never compeletes....it stops at 99 %...in this way i cannot update my adobe flash player or mozilla firefox....i have no antivirus... firewall turned offf.....i tried everything....i reinstalled windows about 5 times in last two years but the problem is same.....if you cannot help me then upload the latest flash player(full 16 or 17 mb i think) as a rar file on any site and send link but help me in solving my problem...
two pictures uploaded...the difference between both is the time difference of 2 minutes

It's quite clearly trying to run some sort of security scan on the downloaded file and something is broken so it's waiting forever for it to finish.
You can still get to the exe file, right click the download and browse to the folder it's downloading to. Make sure you can see hidden files and also do not have known file extensions hidden (every Windows user should know how to set this) you should see the file you're downloading in there and another file with the same name but with .part on the end. Right click this "part" file and select copy, paste it somewhere else (temp folder) and rename it to what it's supposed to be. Then you should be able to run it.
Alternatively, you can also use another browser to download the same file. Right click the download in Firefox and select "Copy Download Link". Then paste this link into another browser and let that download it.
There's probably something in about:config you can change to prevent the security scan from running ( browser.download.manager.alertOnEXEOpen may be worth a try ). My guess is that some antivirus program you had installed in the past inserted something into Firefox that it didn't bother to remove when the AV software was uninstalled. This kind of thing also used to break Microsoft Office as well.
