title: Extracting .exe file using powershell
body: <p>I am trying to extract .exe file using powershell without any other tools. </p>
  
  <p>I tried to use System.IO.Compression.ZipFile, but that works only for .zip files.. </p>
  
  <pre><code>$zip_file = Get-Item ("C:\Users\00WORK\gs\gs.exe")
  $destination = Get-Item ("C:\Users\tuna")
  [System.IO.Compression.ZipFile]::ExtractToDirectory($zip_file,$destination)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Also tried this, but without any success</p>
  
  <pre><code>start-process C:\Users\Downloads\gs.exe -Argumentlist "/a"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Tried also this but once again without any succes</p>
  
  <pre><code>$shell = new-object -com shell.application
  $zip = $shell.NameSpace(“C:\Users\00WORK\gs\gs.exe”)
  foreach($item in $zip.items())
  {
  $shell.Namespace(“C:\Users\tuna”).copyhere($item)
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks for help.</p>
