extract a zip file

I have a program that includes a set of around 50 photos.  I have zipped those files and included them in my build.  Now I'd like to extract those photos to a folder during the installation process.  I've reviewed the application builder, but can find no reference to extracting a zip file.
What am I overlooking?  I'd appreciate any help.  Thanks.

You can create another executable that can decompress the file. Then, in Application builder, in the "Installer Settings" tab, there is a button that reads "Advanced...". A dialog will open with an option called "Run executable after installation". You can call your decompression executable from there.

Another option is to check OpenG Builder, which is also an application to deploy LabVIEW software. The zip functions are included, and because is open source, you can modify it so the installer shows the behavior you want.
