Seeing what files are in a .zip file, even one wrapped with the self-extract .exe code, only shows you the files needed to do the INSTALL. It shows you nothing about what files actually get CREATED by the install. Use VMWare Server, VPC, ShadowSurfer, or Windows SteadyState to see what gets installed (provided you have a tool to log the current state and then show you the difference after the install).
