[SOLVED] examine apps in win2k

Mr.Scaleo · 07-18-2009, 03:38 AM

Hello!
I wonder if there is an command or something that lets you open and examine the files within an application like exe? Similar like when you mount an ISO to a virtual drive and you can see the files on the "disk". Or is there an utility that can do this. I don't want any hexeditor or somehting like that only so I can see the files within.

EXE files are self executing files and are not storage archives. They can not be "looked into" by the method that you request. An EXE file is in essence a program and does not contain any files within.

Thanks for the reply. It has been so long ago I asked this I have forgotten about it.
