The alternative is not to run the exe at all, but use an unzip utility that reads self-extracting exes. Is there such a thing? I really, really hate DAZ's installers. I'd love to be able to pull out just one file from the exe, without having to reinstall (or install to a dummy directory, then try to remember to delete the thing the next time I reboot...since WinXP doesn't allow you to do it until then).
