I want to copy some files into a directory in my computer, and also ejecute some archives that write on a data base some information, but if i could it isn't necessary to copy this archives in the computer.

Sorry if i don't explain well...

You want to extract an archive without extracting it first from the installer? That's impossible. However, if you're installing from a CD, you can simply keep the file on the CD, outside of the installer itself.

Ok, I understand you, Thank you very much.

And, the last question, Is there any way to run the installer from the CD? That when i insert the CD in the computer the installer runs automatically.

Thank you again! 🙂

You need a file named autorun.inf in the root of the CD, containing:
[autorun]open=installer.exe
