IIRC, WinRar can do this under Windows. I have it installed, and I know that it gives context menues to executables that have compresed data in them and you can uncompress it. I faintly remember doing this to InstallSheild setup executables to get the .cab files from them, and then those .cab files containd the data itself. WinRar can open the .cab files as well. You can install WinRar (http://www.rarlab.com), I am pretty sure it does this.
