How do I extract files from a .exe file?

Hi!

I need to get the SATA drivers from the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, and I only have the .exe file. How do I take the files out from this .exe file, or any other for that matter? I hav tried looking in the TEMP folder (I cleared the folder, and then double clicked the .exe, there came some files, but not the ones I needed), and have tried using WinRAR as well, but it didn't open this .exe file. What software should I use to open this file, and is there any other way get these files?


Thank you.

Thank you John!

 

Man, it extracts the same files which I saw in the TEMP folder. Maybe this file (.exe) is the wrong one?

I need the files for slipstreaming SATA drivers into my XP DVD. I downloaded the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, the latest one, and I thought this executable had the files. These are the files which I need for nLite -




Where do I find these files?

 

Every try 7-Zip? Most installers just use the simple zip compression, and you can pull the files out of that.

 

No, I can now extract the files out of it, but there are no such files (which I need, which are in the screenshot) in the Intel Matrix Storage Manager's .exe file. Which executable (or Zip/Rar for that matter) file will have these files? I need to slipstream SATA drivers i nto my XP DVD and I need these files.

 

So, anyone?

 

You need the "32-bit Floppy Configuration Utility for Intel® Matrix Storage Manager", not the "RAID/AHCI Software - Intel® Matrix Storage Manager". The floppy is stored in winimage format, afaik, so you'll need winimage to extract it.

Download to desktop

Open DOS window

type iata78_enu.exe -a in a DOS windows (after navigating to your desktop, of course); 'CD Desktop'

Click Yes to the installer. Don't worry, it won't run all the way.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel Matrix Storage Manager\Driver for x86 drivers

C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel Matrix Storage Manager\Driver64 for x64 drivers

Thank you, that worked great! Only two files are missing, Version, Licence and ReadMe, and I guess they're useless while slipstreaming (right?)! <Repped>

@orev - Thanks for replying, but I had the right exe (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) it seems. Or do I need the file you said? Will it bring out the files with the same names (as of Intel Matrix Storage Manager) but with different content in them?

 

Maybe they both have the same drivers in them (that would make sense). I think the other file for the floppy might only have the driver on it, instead of all the other software as well. Probably not a big difference for what you are doing, nLite should be able to handle both.

 

Is there a similar utility, like nLite, for Vista? Will it work with the Vista DVD DELL sent me (ie, an OEM disc)?

Thank you!

 

It's called vLite I don't know how Dell modified their disc, but it's worth a try. My guess is that you should have no problem with it.

 

There is other less command way to "Extract SATA drivers from their EXE". You can refer to this guide. http://maxeasyguide.blogspot.com/2008/04/extracting-sata-driver-from-their-exe.html
