How to extract ZIP from self-extracting exe?

Well, the subject says it all. I have an exe that is an SFX, and I want to extract the ZIP from the SFX. How can I do that?

Solution 1:

7-Zip should be capable of doing this. You can right click the file and select "Open Archive" or navigate to the file within 7-Zip and right-click and select "Open Inside".

Solution 2:

On Linux it is possible with "zip" utility:

$ file london_f.exe
london_f.exe: PE32 executable for MS Windows (GUI) Intel 80386 32-bit

Warning: The next line changes the original .exe file to make it a pure zip archive without the exe parts!

$ zip -J london_f.exe
$ file london_f.exe
london_f.exe: Zip archive data, at least v1.0 to extract
$ zip --version
