Can't extract NSIS installer .exe

Note: This was posted by an unknown user on 06/27/2010 and was falsely detected as spam. I'm reposting it on his behalf.

I'm trying to use UE v1.6.1 to extract an installer file created with NSIS. When I try I get the following error:

C:\Users\{username}\Desktop\iso_en.exe cannot be extracted.
Filetype returned was: Microsoft Visual C++ DLL [Nullsoft PiMP SFX]*

Click OK if you'd like to analyze the file yourself, or Cancel to exit.

Any pointers on solving this?

NSIS should be reasonably well supported. It could be due to the 7-zip issue I've discussed previously, but it's tough to say for sure. Do you know if that file worked in 1.6?

Alternatively, are you able to provide a download link so I can test it myself?
