Windows uses system files, such as the Win32 extractor, to successfully run certain functions and tasks on the computer. The Win32 extractor is also often called a Win32 cabinet self-extractor. Because the extractors are hidden and start by themselves, you don’t usually come across the self-extracting applications. Oftentimes, this makes it difficult to determine the function and purpose of common system applications, such as the Win32 extractor.
