Extract installshield

[Danielb]

Hi im having trouble installing my boomslang mouse, i want to get at the driver, but its inside the setup.exe. Anyone know of a peice of software to do this, i saw a thread on nero 7 that did it i think, cant find it now :-(

Thank you.

once the setup has run, it should be in C:\program files\razer

you could try installling 7zip and then right clicking the file and pressing extract..

There's three files on various web sites: icomp.exe, i5comp.exe, and i6comp.exe that will decompress different versions of InstallShield cab files from the command line. Google should yield quick results.

Exactly what I'm using. i6comp.exe should do the job in 99% percent of the cases.

I remember there's a GUI for these CLI tools too...

Thanks, sorted it now, sort of. Unbeleivable. That program will come in handy. Cheers.

I use Drivermagican for jobs like that.
