If you did not password-protect your stack before building the exe, then 
the scripts will be in plain text in the executable. Open it in a text 
editor and they will be visible, in between all the binary code.

If you did password-protect the stack then you can't get access or 
extract the stack. To RR's credit, the ability to do that was removed 
some years ago. But you can write to support to see if they can help 
you. It may cost a fee.
