Depends on the EXE and what you run.
EXEs like that are normally something like self-extracting archives. You run them, they extract themselves, and jump to an installation routine that puts stuff where it should go. Some archive utilities are capable of treating such things as ordinary archives, opening them and allowing you to manually extract the contents.
Go to
http://www.7zip.org and download the current version. 7zip is a free, open source archive utility that can open and extract 7z, zip, gzip, bzip2, tar, rar, cab, arj, z, cpio, rpm, deb, lzh, split, chm, iso, compound, wim and nsis archives, and create 7z, zip, gzip, bzip2 abd tar files.
You might be able to open and extract the contents of the EXE and install things manually.
