The self-extracting executable may need to be renamed to contain a file extension associated with the corresponding packer; archive file formats known to support this include ARJ [1] and ZIP. [2] [3] Typically, self-extracting files for Microsoft operating systems such as DOS and Windows have a .exe extension, just like any other executable file.
IExpress (IEXPRESS.EXE) can be used for distributing self-contained installation packages (INF-based setup executables) to multiple local or remote Windows computers.It creates a self-extracting executable (.EXE) or a compressed Cabinet file using either the provided front end interface (IExpress Wizard), or a custom Self Extraction Directive (SED) file.

PeaZip is available for IA-32 and x86-64 as a standalone portable application and as an installable package for Microsoft Windows, Linux [15] [16] (DEB, RPM and TGZ, compiled both for GTK2 and Qt widgetset), and BSD (GTK2). It is available also as a PortableApps package (.paf.exe) [17] and for Microsoft's winget Windows Package Manager [18]
7-Zip comes with a file manager along with the standard archiver tools. The file manager has a toolbar with options to create an archive, extract an archive, test an archive to detect errors, copy, move, and delete files, and open a file properties menu exclusive to 7-Zip.
Software distributors use executable compression for a variety of reasons, primarily to reduce the secondary storage requirements of their software; as executable compressors are specifically designed to compress executable code, they often achieve better compression ratio than standard data compression facilities such as gzip, zip or bzip2 [citation needed].
A JAR file allows Java runtimes to efficiently deploy an entire application, including its classes and their associated resources, in a single request. JAR file elements may be compressed, shortening download times. A JAR file may contain a manifest file, that is located at META-INF/MANIFEST.MF. The entries in the manifest file describe how to ...

IExpress works this way, as does Microsoft Windows Explorer, which can open CAB archives as a folder. Some can store the paths, and upon extraction, create folders as necessary. CABARC.EXE and EXTRACT.EXE (tools from Microsoft Cabinet SDK [2]) as well as lcab [3] and cabextract [4] (third-party open-source tools) work this way.
