I would like to know if I can include .exe and .dll files within my plugin.

Let me explain, I want to add to my plugin, AudioBook_Duration, support for reading .zip and .rar files, with .zip everything goes great with python libraries but with .rar I need an .exe and .dll for windows to run the unrarTool , on linux and mac it can be installed by console.

Can I include these .exe and .dll files to decompress them and use them in a transparent way for the user, or should I attach them separately so that the user can add them or not?

I do not know if I explain myself, if there is no problem I will add them, as it is easier for the Windows user.
