Driver Extractor is a tool which makes creating SLD components for drivers very eas
image (1)y.
All you need to do is to run the tool on the target machine with XP, Vista or Windows 7 and all device drivers installed.
Then you just need to select the devices for which the drivers should be exported into an SLD file and click export.
Driver Extractor will then copy all the needed files and creates a component for XPe/WES with Repository for you.
After importing the component to the database you can easily create your image.

Requirements

  • .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
  • Windows Operating system with all needed device drivers installed
  • WMI Support (if running on an embedded OS)
  • Windows must be installed on C:\Windows in the current version

How To Use

  1. Run DriverExtractor.exe on the target device. The Windows version should be XP as the exported drivers are taken from the current installation. If you use Vista it will take Vista driver which might not work under XP!
  2. Check the devices for which you want to export the drivers.
