Dell .exe files not extracting on 7.1.7 #379

Open grantemsley opened 1 year ago

Based on commit log looked like this was maybe fixed in 7.1.6, but it's not working for me using 7.1.7.

I'm using MDT, and extracting drivers to d:\Drivers. What I get is a folder D:\Drivers\Dell\Latitude 3520\Driver Cab with '3520-2C94W-Win10_1.0_A07.exe' in it, and D:\Drivers\Dell\Latitude 3520\Win10-A07 with another copy of the exe file in it instead of the extracted drivers. It still tries to import the directory, but of course doesn't find any drivers there.

Manually extracting the drivers with 3520-2C94W-Win10_1.0_A07.exe /s /e= seems to work fine.

Same here. 7.1.7 is not extracting CABs anymore... because Dell is sending EXEs ! Latitude 3420 and Precision 7820 Tower.

Edit : Fixed by downloading Windows 11 driver packs (CAB) and NOT Windows 10 which sending EXE files.

Edit 2 : OK so this is not related to Windows 10 or 11, it's a matter of model... Good luck in dealing with this. :/ image

Edit 3 : This issue has already been reported here #353. This is a Microsoft's CAB max size limitation : https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/fr-fr/000197955/file-format-change-of-dell-command-deploy-driver-pack-from-cab-to-dup
