Running as an EXE

I know I have seen this somewhere but my eyes must be dimming 🙂

What I need to do is have the end user run the 'installer' inside are 4 files that I want to a temporary area, the utility exe run and then the whole lot simply deleted (it is a sort of patch).

I have to do it this way because the files to be changed are in a database of sorts, I need to extract the info, change it and then reinsert to fix.

Thanks .. Larry

PS: I just know when someone tells me where the info is I am going to say D'oh!

see the Advanced Splash *.nsi example in the NSIS examples directory -- I believe there's a part where it copies things to a temp directory and then deletes them.
