Self-extracting archive
text:
A self-extracting archive is a computer executable program which combines compressed data in an archive file with machine-executable code to extract the information. Running on a compatible operating system, it does not need a suitable extractor in the target computer to extract the data. The executable part of the file is known as a decompressor stub. Self-extracting files are used to share compressed files with a party that may not have the software needed to decompress a regular archive. User
