Re: [gentoo-user] Extracting XP drivers from an .exe
There is one of the greatest tools at windows you need now: http://legroom.net/software/uniextract With this tools you can extract everything which can be extractet. Have fun with it!!

search the hard drive for any files that were unpacked - you might find where it unpacked files and, if you're lucky, it might contain all contents - 32 bit and 64 bit. Yes, and they would probably be located in the %TEMP% directory. I was just using the Windows search. - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Extracting XP drivers from an .exe
Can anyone think of a way to extract the XP 64-bit drivers I know are in an .exe file from that file? I've run the executable inside of vmware running 32-bit XP but I'm sure the installed drivers are 32-bit. If you are lucky and the file is an exe archive it might be possible to unrar or unzip it just like any other archive. If it is in a propietary format you might need to use a windows installation to use it's contents. Unfortunately running the archive on 32-bit Windows starts the installation routine and trying unzip errors. - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Some exe's are just zip or rar files, but if that doesn't work I don't think you will be able to get the contents without an 64 bit windows installation. -- Jesús Guerrero [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

It also could be in: c:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp\temporary_installation_folder or it may be in a subfolder of said application within: c:\Program Files\application name\installation_subfolder If you know what the name of the 64bit file is you can run search on c:\ while the installation executable is running. BTW, the unzip command should be run on Linux rather than MS Windows. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
