9 File(s) 334,533,864 bytes
2 Dir(s) 17,935,298,560 bytes free

now i think the file [0] is an archive and i tried all the usual program [winrar,7zip,winzip etc] nothing worked

can anyone make sense on how to get out the drivers out of there without installing them?

thx

Hi

Please try the below steps.

1. Download innounp ( inno setup unpacker )from the below link.

Inno Setup Unpacker - Browse /innounp/innounp 0.40 at SourceForge.net ( innounp040.rar)

Readme : innounp, the Inno Setup Unpacker

2. Create a new folder in the root of a partition ( for example, D:\Test )

3. Extract the zip file and copy innounp.exe to the "Test" folder. Also copy the driver setup exe file to the folder and rename it to something small like "atheroz" ( any small name without spaces ).

4. Open a command prompt and navigate to the "D:\Test" folder. Alternatively hold the "Shift" key and right click on the folder. You will see an option "Open Command Window Here".

Open Command Window Here - Add or Remove Shift + Right Click


Now enter the extraction command like this :

innounp -x atheroz.exe

Hopefully the setup will be extracted successfully.

it's a no go because it's not a inno setup file its Installshield totally different

here is the link to the drivers maybe someone has the time to look at them

http://www.qca.qualcomm.com/drivers/...Win8_Win81.exe

anyway thanks for the reply

I tried running that file but can't. Qualcomm checks if you have the Qualcomm hardware installed before it unpacks that file.

But let me ask: Just what are you trying to accomplish? What driver are you trying to get? There may be another approach.

When i look at the release notes for the download I see it contains several drivers
> Which driver file do you want?
> Also, go to device manager, right click the device you want the drivers for, select Properties->Detail tab. Select Hardware IDs from the pull down menu. Copy/paste what you see

i'am just trying to get the drivers out (the newest version) because the software suit,manager is way to buggy if installed the network has frequent dropouts lags etc.

i;am on win 7 (msi xpower z87 board) thats the only reason

You could do the following:
> Install the software suite (which includes the drivers)
> Run Double Driver (to backup installed drivers)
> Uninstall the software suite

You now have a copy of the extracted drivers you want in the Double Drivers backup
