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 :
- Launch Command Prompt
- Go to the directory where you save/download IATA85ENU.exe
- 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

Its not running
@ilhami : what file exactly you want to extract ? and what is the error that you got ?
Hi, it is only runs the given exe file, I cannot see any extraction to the specified folder.
this method is not working from the cmd line in Win 7.
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.
Thats all…
I tried with Universal Etractor and 7zip, firt cant extract cuz it says “UPX” file. And 7zip give me 3 files : UPX0, UPX1 and UPX2.
And i cant do nothing with those files…
Any idea?
thx

i tried this to :
x264-32bit.exe /t:C:\extracted_files\ /c
and
c:\x264-32bit.exe -a -a -pc:\
but not working too…
:(
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
i think this is better
