nrupesh Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 does anyone know what files are installed when WMI core is installed in Win98 ?I was after a list of files installed on the system when installing Windows management for Win9x
LLXX Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Unpack the installer and see for yourself...Or monitor its installation with FileMon and RegMon.
erpdude8 Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 (edited) i realize that this is a very old thread but one of the files included in wmi9x.exe that's important to me is the smbdpmi.exe file.SMBDPMI.EXE is the SMBIOS DOS driver as posted in the description in the SMBDPMI.PIF file, also bundled in wmi9x.exe.In Win95/98 after running WMI9X.EXE and installing the WBEM 1.5 files, run the SMBDPMI.PIF file to make smbdpmi.exe create the smbios.dat & smbios.eps files. Those two files contain info about the computer/motherboard brand & model and the kind of BIOS it uses.I found out that the DirectX Diagnostic tool (dxdiag.exe) from at least DirectX8 gets the "System Manufacturer", "System Model" and BIOS information from the smbios.dat file and attempts to identify the kind of computer you are using.

jds Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 OK, it's not clear if your posting was "FYI" or whether you're seeking the 'wmi9x.exe' file. I think it's the former, however, if it's the latter, the file is available at :http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=98A4C5BA-337B-4E92-8C18-A63847760EA5I'm also interested by LLXX's suggestion to "Unpack the installer". Any idea how to do that? Neither TugZip nor 7-Zip can extract contents from this file.Joe.

dencorso Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 Nope. Just tried it, and the UE (v. 1.6.2) cannot do it either... Sorry!
Sp0iLedBrAt Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 Ummm... dencorso, where might one obtain this v.1.6.2 of the Universal Extractor?Cheers
CharlesF Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Ummm... dencorso, where might one obtain this v.1.6.2 of the Universal Extractor?On Google probably : "Universal Extractor 1.6.2"but in what is it different?Last version provided on the legitime site is 1.6.1
Sp0iLedBrAt Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Exactly. I did manage to find some portable 1.6.2 off some site, but the .exe, although again a compiled AutoIt script, was not signed by the author, and gave a wrong version number.I do always search first, and ask later
dencorso Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 It's kind of complicated... 1.6.2 is unofficial... Member gora maintains it. It's sort of a fork. Search for his posts here at MSFN.

Search for his posts here at MSFN."Universal Extractor 1.6.2" - did not match any documents.but yes, could be the last version with upgrades in 'bin' folder.I do it by myself also, for innounp, UnRAR, ...

Any idea how to do that? Neither TugZip nor 7-Zip can extract contents from this file.Joe.I took a look at this file wmi9x.exe that comes from that link. It identifies as some kind of modified Wise package. But none of the Wise unpackers I have handy would touch it. That includes the most reliable one, E_WISE.Latest 7zip (7zip.exe) deconstructs it to a set of installer resources (with some date/times preserved): 5,096 09-24-99 4:54p CERTIFICATE 4,096 09-24-99 4:54p .data 4,096 09-24-99 4:54p .rdata 4,096 09-24-99 4:54p .text 20 12-29-10 5:44a .\.rsrc\GROUP_ICON\102 766 12-29-10 5:44a .\.rsrc\ICON\1.ico 3,076,267 12-29-10 5:44a .\.rsrc\RCDATA\101 <-------- candidate 32 12-29-10 5:44a .\.rsrc\RCDATA\101_1 1,924 12-29-10 5:44a .\.rsrc\VERSION\1That large file identifies to a MSVC++ executeable of unknown compression, which 7zip and E_WISE won't touch.

Don't have the time myself at this moment.If I remember correctly, this installer places a large set of files and registry entries in the system.I would suggest installing it on an imaged (roll-back-able) 9x test machine with a registry dump and filelist, BEFORE and AFTER.P.S. I just noticed in the preview that the CODEBOX does not have scrollbars! Did something else change with the forum software again?
dencorso Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Ummm... dencorso, where might one obtain this v.1.6.2 of the Universal Extractor?On Google probably : "Universal Extractor 1.6.2"but in what is it different?Last version provided on the legitime site is 1.6.1 It seems gora withdrew it. It was an unofficial update of 1.6.0, so it's parallel to 1.6.1. I do update mine by hand, too, usually, so that I've decided to keep my tweaked 1.6.2...Had all but forgotten about this. PM gora if you want more info about it, though.
PROBLEMCHYLD Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Anyone found how to extract the files from the WMI9X.EXE package?
PROBLEMCHYLD Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Sorry guys I asked the wrong question.What I should have asked, do you know the proper command line switches to extract the files?If someone create a inf file I can add the whole package to U98SESP3 Here they are./T test mode /X pathname extracts files into pathname /Z pathname extracts files into pathname and reboots /S silent install /M prompts for windows, system, temp dirs /M=filename specifies a value file similar to /d above, but for standard variables /M1 same as /m plus it prompts before any file that is self-registered /M2 reserved for internal use by Wise during debugger sessions
