You could try using:

It has helped me extract lots of installers over the years. Just right click the exe and try a extract to subfolder.

Thanks but its blocked by the LEA

 

Any chance you can get a copy across to me

when you run the exe setup does it not dump a copy of the msi in %temp% while its running. Could copy it from there?

Hmm yeah thats what I usually do, start the setup program and grab the msi from temp.

Thats what i would normally do but cant find it

i was going to say what rabbie did, when you run the exe, it should create the files in the %temp% dir which you can go into (while keeping the setup.exe open) and get the msi from there. if you close the setup.exe first, it deletes the files from the temp folder

 

**ok ignore me, you already replied**

Is it not in any of the subfolders?

 

You could try name.exe /? and see if it has its own Administrative Install switch.

 

 

I dont know if you can use the Windows Command Prompt to extract EXE's as you can with the Microsoft Service Packs...

i just ran the setup and it extracted it to

 

c:\documents and settings\rabbieburns\local settings\temp\{7C0DC38C-DAB0-4AA1-A122-9DD958E8D083}

 

Not sure if the string will be the same

I did think that but the one for download is version 10

Run the setup program with /a switch. Will extract all the file you need to your specified directory.
