I´ve made a script to make some validating of the target-system and some user-inputted values. I want this script run before the actual installation begins, and therefore need to somehow extract this file from my components and install it in a temporary directory, from where I´d be able to execute it in a CA.

If you have InstallShield then there's a sample script with function StreamFileFromBinary

I´ve searched my InstallScript Language Reference and my Platform SDK for a function ( or anything ) with the name StreamFileFromBinary, but can´t find anything...
I´m using InstallShield for Windows Installer 1.10... can that be why?

Not sure. Take a look at your InstallShield program directory. There should be a samples subdirectory somewhere, but I'm not sure about version 1.1.
BTW ythere may be an easier way: create a custom action of type run exe or call DL function, and select "stored in binary table" as location.
