Help Anu ba ang original extension ng .exe?

[I am nobody]

Ngayon ko palang nalaman na pwede pala e decompress ang .exe. Sinubukan ko e rename yung .exe to zip, tar, 7z wala eh de parin ma open. Anu bang extension nito as zip file?

it's not like renaming it to another file extension to open.. not all exe are designed like a compressed executable file (which also has .exe extension)
to truly open an exe file you need a decompiler.
