I believe everyone dislikes installation packages that come with bundled "stuff", but now there are some tools that can give you peace of mind. Universal Extractor is a nearly all-purpose file extractor, supporting over 40 types of files. Whether it's simple compressed files like zip, rar, 7z, or software installation programs such as Inno Setup, InstallShield, Windows Installer, or even floppy disk and CD images like IMG, ISO, and certain packed PE files, all can have their contents extracted using this tool. The software is extremely easy to use; simply specify the file to extract and the target folder, and Universal Extractor will automatically analyze the file type and complete the extraction. Using a right-click operation in the File Explorer can even allow for one-click extraction.

In fact, the real workhorse behind Universal Extractor is a large collection of command-line tools, which actually perform the file extraction (Universal Extractor itself also supports command-line operations). Universal Extractor consolidates many command-line tools into one place, adding a simple and clear GUI, creating an outstanding piece of software that is hard to come by.
