If it is a .exe utilitized to "execute" an install program, you might want to try hamfisting and do what the .exe was going to do. The problem with modern (post 19**) executables are they call too many programs too make the install work.

I think your question was, to paraphrase: how can I break down a .exe and let me tailor it to my needs.

Have you ever used dos? Determine your need, create a simple .bat file.

Your .exe is not working because it is calling for something it cannot find.

Doesn't mean it is not there, the OS just can't find it.

Check your paths, determine your needs....

I need some sleep.

You might want to do a search of the tfp. Many programmers here. Obviously, I am not included in the programmer group.

But, I have a chicken that can do multiplication tables.
I have a cousin that cannot do math.

I think he is gonna marry that chicken

Who is gonna do their taxes?

Yeah, like I give a cluck!
