Question re install instructions involving `prep.sh` #13

Closed razlani closed 3 years ago

razlani commented 3 years ago

I downloaded SurfaceBook2_Win10_18362_21.032.17273.0.msi and used the linux tool in package msitools to extract it but cannot find any directory/file information that corresponds to what you have in that diagram, ie

└── surface-uefi-firmware ├── prep.sh ├── README.sh ├── repack.sh └── template.metainfo.xml

This bit.

Can someone kindly here explain in laymans terms how I can generate that info to pass into a repack?!

I have the classic issue of trying to undervolt my surface book 2 and am prevented from doing so after the latest UEFI firmware.

The files in the diagram are the files from this repository. You dont have to extract the MSI yourself, just pass it to prep.sh / repack.sh and that will handle the extraction for you.

Thanks @StollD .. Just as I figured that out: It seems that I've encountered the same error as issue #12 :-(

Mine's a surface book 2/ubuntu
