How to extract the .ini files from a driver .exe package

Situatie

Many times, when you install a driver from a manufacturer, you will also get useless stuff and interfaces. but if you don’t want them, there is a simple solution, built right inside Windows.

Solutie

First, look in Device Manager what driver you need to install with this procedure. After that, we head to the manufacturer website for the .exe / .cab file.

Head to your Download folder and, inside it, make a new folder and call it whatever you want, for my example i made a new folder inside the C partition and called it “NEW”. Then, do the following:

Open CMD with Administrator privileges, after it is open, type “cd PATH” where path is your folder; for example cd C:\Temp to go in your Temp folder on the C partition.
Type: SetupChipset.exe -extract C:\NEW, where “C:\NEW” will be your path where you want to extract the drivers.
Go inside your folder and you will see the folder with a lot of files inside it.
Head to Device Manager, right click on the component you downloaded the driver>Update drivers>Browse my computer for drivers>Browse>Select the folder that contains your drivers>Select the OK button
Done
