EXE extraction / decompiler

Question

I have tried a few EXE extractor but they don't work on a lot of files. I am looking for something better.

Answer 1

What kind of .exe? Win32 / DOS / .NET?

• If .NET, you should use Reflector (http://www.red-gate.com/products/reflector/)
• If Win32 and C++, you can try decompilers posted here (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/205059/is-there-a-c-decompiler)

There are a lot's of extractors/decompilers on the market, so you should say more explicitly what is your goal (ie. to extract images, decompile assembly source etc.)
