The driver i am stuck on is a "windows installer internet download bootstrap" file. I have tried using winrar do do this but just says "the archive is corrupt". I have tryed copying it from the temp files but it does not extract until the installation begins and it is over in about a second. way do fast for me do do anything to it

This file doesn't suppoer extraction. You have to use /s for silent installation of the package.

I used these when I needed to convert a exe to msi during a application upgrade where the application did not supported extraction.
