Can I access code underneath a Matlab App?

I'm trying to get to grips with Monte Carlo optimisation and I found this app on mathworks file exchange:
Is it possible to access the underlying code in this app so I can modify it?

As Ryan commented there,
All apps require R2012b for easy install. However, you should be able to grab the GUI files (m-files and .fig files) by using a zip utility to open the package.

When you un-zip the file all you get are a licence doc and the app installer...so is there some way of accessing the files contained within the installer or underneath the gui of the app? I tried opening the installer file with a zip utility but it wouldn't accept the file type.

The installer file is a zip archive. If you have a command line unzip, you can use that. Otherwise, you could try renaming it to end with .zip

The App will install in a folder (named after the App) in the Apps directory (this can be found by going to Home Tab -> preferences -> Apps
In this directory all of the code and helper files will be available as they were when the app was packaged.
