how to extract exe files

author : voidzzz | category : How-To.

for those of you who need to extract exe files and grab whats inside the exe, i’ll show you how to do that manually.

Updated :

Just download the program to extract exe files from here :

Outdated :

You can simply do this using compression utility such as winrar or 7zip. but it just won’t work for a few exe files such as those that comes from intel website.

As an example, i use Intel SATA/AHCI driver that can be downloaded here.

To extract the file :

  1. Launch Command Prompt
  2. Go to the directory where you save/download IATA85ENU.exe
  3. Type the following command :
    IATA85ENU.exe /A /P C:\IATA

The files will be extracted to C:\IATA (or any folder that you point in the command above)

Alternatively you can use Universal Extractor

    im on WinXP sp3 and i have this error :

    C:\>x264-32bit.exe /A /P C:\extracted-files
    x264 [error]: No output file. Run x264 –help for a list of options.

    is your x264-32bit.exe in your c:\xyz ?? (note xyz is the name of the folder)
    if it is… your cmd prompt should be
    c:\x264-32bit.exe /a /p c:\xyz
