This executable is used for extracting files downloaded from the internet. It is not essential to the running of FlexSim, unless you are downloading files, e.g. for upgrading, etc., from within FlexSim.

Hello @Jimmy jang,

I deleted the same file in my FlexSim 2023.I created a simple model and ran it a few times with the experimenter and such. I didn't seem to have any issues but It still is an application file. I would reinstall FlexSim so you have all the files. Here is the link to the FlexSim Download
