I do hope this is the right place to put this?
I built an install for Win7 Ultimate so that I could have all my drivers and latest updates on it and I wanted to have the USB3.0 drivers loaded at start up BUT, the latest package, 2.1.39 only comes in an .EXE and I couldn't extract anything from it, I used 7zip and Universal Extractor but NO USE. To say it annoyed me was an understatement but I found a fix.
I found the previous driver 2.1.36 from another source and was able to extract the drivers from that .EXE. There is 32bit and 64bit sections in it as well.
Maybe other people have found a better way of doing this but it is the only thing I could figure out. If anyone else has a better idea, great.
Here are a couple of links I hope will help anyone who has had this trouble themselves. You need the UEI to extract the files from the USB exe.
2.1.36 Driver: Driver exe
Universal Extractor: UEI
