Topic: Newbies question : how to extract .exe ???

Hye,

I plan to make my own pack

Ok,  no problem tutorials are clear.

I want to extract a driver content from "http://www.asrock.com/mb/download.asp?M … &ID=32"

It is an exe to  be run, and it is impossible to extract using winrar (ea).

How to manage such a driver ?

Thx for your help

Re: Newbies question : how to extract .exe ???

Firstly, you can try 7-Zip (http://7-zip.org/).
It's Open-Source, free and much better than WinRAR, IMO.

Secondly, if that fails, there's always Universal Extractor (http://legroom.net/software/uniextract).

That can extract about 90% of all installers you may find.

If even that fails, the best idea is to simply clear out your whole %temp%, run the installer and grab any files placed in %temp% during that process.
That's usually the driver files you have been looking for.

If even that fails, you will have to install the driver on a machine that features the proper HW, then use Driver Grabber (http://www.siginetsoftware.com/forum/sh … d.php?t=34) on it to get the driver files.

Universal extractor was fine... 

7Z is already installed  ;-)
