Hello mxl0b23,
Typically self-extracting setups extract the files to the temp directory, and then run the normal setup.exe.
A crude but practical workarround is to do the following:
1) Open a windows explorer window and go to the temp directory.
2) Run the setup and go the the temp folder once the first dialog from the setup is displayed. Notice that I said from the setup. This will be after the initial dialog from the self-extractor, and after the password dialog.
3) A folder will be created in the temp folder, and it will contain installation files.
4) Copy and use thoose installation files instead of the self-extractor.
I believe that there may be switches that you can use to use the self-extractor directly, but this is easier.
Let me know if this helps.
Regards,

P.S. To find the location of the temp folder, you can open a command prompt and type set. This will display all environment variables including the location of the temp folder.
