petremure Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Here is my problem: I am making ready to vlite a windows install cd, and I'd like to integrate the pc manufacturer's original drivers in the iso. However, these come as exe auto-installers, which I can't use for my purpose. Is there a way to extract the drivers from the installers? I seem to remember there was a program that did just that, but the name escapes me. Thank you for your help,P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongo66 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I use 7-zip to open/extract executable files... If that doesn't work, I just run the installer (without actually installing it) to obtain the files I need. Most auto-installers will extract contents to a temporary location within the %TEMP% folder when executed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petremure Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Thanks, I'll try 7zip. The pseudo-install trick might not work, since the drivers are for a different OS than the actual on my machine, and simply respond with a "wrong os"-type of message.

Any other idea?P.Hmm, I've never seen that error before...You could also try Universal Extractor (if you haven't already done so). I don't know if it'll do what you want it to do, but it's worth a shot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petremure Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Universal Extractor did the job. Thank you, mongo66! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
