Extracting Windows executable installers on Mac OS X?

1

Is there a program or a script out there to extract the contents of a Windows installer under Mac Os X?

Under Windows there is the Universal Extractor, I am looking like something like that for Mac. I don't know if there is a universal solution to this problem or if I would need a extractor specific to the type of installer. In my case I am actually trying to get the installer from Gog.com to extract so I can use them with Boxer.

1From the link below: "Many kinds of .exe self-extracting formats are supported. However, if you find one that is not, please post an issue on the bug tracker." There's also support for MSI, NSIS and CAB archives. – Pere – 2012-08-26T15:54:33.657
