Extract Toshiba laptop drivers from setup files for OS deployment
Hello,
I need to extract Toshiba Tecra R940 drivers to add to our deployment server, but all I got from Toshiba is zipped folders, containing self-extracting archives, containing setup.exe files. How do I go about just getting the drivers out?
THanks!!!

Running the setup usually extracts the drivers to a either your temporary folder or to a folder you define, and then you can copy those drivers to wherever you want.
If that doesn't work try opening the setup.exe file with your archiving utility, like 7-zip. In some situation that can then extract your driver files.

I remember being able to do it running the setup.exe in CMD, but can't remember the syntax.
often setup /? will show the syntax available. But it should also extract by just running setup normally. Β If the installer gives you an error message after that, like wrong computer or hardware not found or similar, don't close that message yet, but rather look for the extracted files and copy them to elsewhere. After copying them you can close the installer (as often when you continue, the installer then removes the files again before it closes).
