Thanks for the hint. After hearing it, I can't believe I didn't think of it, but I didn't. I just gave up after seeing those darn .exe extensions. Thanks again.

My company issues manuals in the form of self-extracting .exe files for Windows machines.
But I find that I can just drop the .exe file on Stuffit Expander and have it extract the files without have to change the extension to .zip.

Not necessarily. The existence of /sw/bin/unzip only suggests it belongs to Fink. In this case, Fink appears to require unzip as part of the base install. I did not explicitly install unzip from Fink.

This is why I specified the two versions: zip and unzip is installed with the OS and are located in the usual places. Fink will place an additional unzip (only) in it's root.

What would happen if stuffit were made the 'default app' for files with the .exe & .EXE suffix?
On my system, they are set to Radnor (which I installed to test, but don't actually use), which brings up a related point: if you had a dos version of unzip on your system, and if the default app for .exe was Radnor, then wouldn't dosbox start & self-extract the file?

Remember not all .exe's are zip files.
Some windows downloads are basically a small unzip utility, and a zip archive. But some other installers don't unzip and are compressed in other fashions.
Otherwise this is a great thing to keep in the back of your mind.
So Remember if it fails it may not be stuffit's fault, but it might really be a program excutable.

I also never thought of this. I tried the drag and drop method and it just didn't do anything, and deluxe just said 'what the heck am I supposed to do with this???' I tried it on some files that caused deluxe to hiccup previously and they extracted no problem. BIG thanks.
The .exe's you are referring to are self extracting zip archives. Just a .zip with a code stub of winzip (or another util) attached so it can extract the files from the .zip archive. It's basically the equivalent of using stuffit to create a self extracting archive in case someone doesn't have stuffit installed on their mac.
Though I doubt there's any mac user anywhere who doesn't have at least one copy of stuffit expander installed on some drive somewhere. :-)
The other.exes are probably just plain old applications, and all sorts of weirdness can happen with those. They really should use some other extension for self extracting .zip archives to help us cut down on the confusion. ;-)

You could also just drag the exe file to Expander.

just verifying this comment, many of these '.exe' files that are compressed, don't need to be renamed, you can just drag them onto stuffit expander and it will decompress.
