Extraction Tool

[goga]

Hi Guys

I've been creating an unattended XP Pro installation disk - with some success - user name, region settings etc. and even sound card drivers were no problem (found all of the sound card drivers in its Progam Files folder).

Intel INF files proved a bit of problem - although not really necessary as SP2 does install them - but I just was not able to extract the files from the downloaded setup file - infinst_enu.exe - also have a problem extracting ATi Catalyst Drivers.

Driver Collector is a great application for the Driver files - just pulls all existing driver files for a specific device from existing system.

What I really want to achieve is the extraction of for example, Applications

The -x command run from "Start - Run" just opens the application setup without letting me choose the destination folder.

Is there such a thing as a software extraction tool which one use to extract setup.exe files and even Install Shield exe files - and give a destination folder to extract too?

Have tried XAce but does not seem to recognise .exe file

Help will be appreciated

WinRAR is a powerful utility for extraction/compression - and its able to extract from most archives - http://rarlabs.com

For intel inf util:

example: INFINST_ENU.EXE -a -a -p c:\extract\INF

example: SETUP.EXE -a -p c:\extract\INF

for Ati Catalyst Drivers:

Software will be automatically extracted in a directory looking like

C:\ATI\SUPPORT\wxp-w2k-catalyst-8-051-040825a-017633C
