I downloaded the latest Nvidia drivers which are in a self extracting executable. Right clicking on the file and going to “Extract To…” context menu brings up the “Extract” dialog box as usual.
In here I click the “Extract to filename\ subfolder” check box then pick my directory to install to and click “Extract”.
The folder is never created with the name of the file, instead all the files are directly extracted to the selected directory.

Example:

I told PA to extract to “C:\Nvidia Drivers” which should have created a sub folder called “285.62-notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql.exe” and extracted the files\folders there, but it just extracted them to “C:\Nvidia Drivers”.

you told it to extract to that directory if you wanted it to extract the files into its subdirectories you should of selected that.

Powerarchiver only extracts where you tell it.

AluminumHaste,
If you do the same thing but from Main PA, open archive in main PA>click extract Button>Check same option, does it work then?
Seems to work fine in main PA for me, but not through shell.

No crap lol, re-read my post I did exactly what you just said and it didn’t do it.:rolleyes:

Okay opening the exe with PA then telling it to extract works correctly.
It only fails to extract to sub directories when you use the right click context menu to select “Extract To…”

If you want to try this your self I’ve used 2 different exe’s on two different computers. The last one I just tried was this one:

http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/285.62/285.62-desktop-win7-winvista-64bit-english-whql.exe
