Extracting files to temp

Hi,

I am currently writing an installer. During the process I need to extract and execute an exe on a button press on a page before the physical installation has occurred.

If I include the file in the installer exe is there a way to extract it prior to the actual installation?

Do I just need to put a File command into the function of the page and point it to a temporary out directory?

All guidance is appreciated

Cheers

You could find this out simply by trying it. (Hint: the answer is 'yes'.)
