I have a customer setting up a driver respository for their standard platforms. They need the drivers in the repository to be in sys/inf format for automatic builds on the target platforms. The Intel chipset driver is only available as an exe. Is there a way to get the inf type driver files from the exe?
Hello,
When you run the executable file, it will extract the file into a temporary folder.
Assuming that you are using an Intel (R) Desktop Board.
What you can do is:
- Run the exe file and give it some time to extract the file contents.
- Show all files from folder options and make sure hidden is disabled.
- Go to directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temp
I think it will ipmx2
- Copy the whole contents to another place as once you cancelled the installation, it will be reomoved as well.
All the best,
Kind Regards,
Aryan.
Hello Ken,
Another way of doing it is by running the command below from run:
x:/INF_allOS_9.1.1.1025_PV.exe -a
-A Extracts the INF files and Readme to either "C:\Program Files\Intel\InfInst" or the <Installation Path> directory specified using the '-P' flag. The software will NOT install these INF files to the system. This flag can be combined only with the '-P' flag. All other options will be ignored if the '-A' flag is
specified. This flag works in Interactive Mode only.
All the best,
Kind Regards,
Aryan.
THANKS a LOT, EVEN AFTER 2 YEARS.
