Is there an easy way from my customers to extract the MSI files from a compressed exe setup that I create? Command line switch?

Thanks,

Chris

The .exe file is essentially a 7zip archive. So programs like WinRAR or 7-zip is able to unpack the .exe file.

Right - simply running a setup extracts everything into %TMP%.
However, files can be extracted directly using any 7ZIP format extractor.
