If you ever worked with deployment, you know the issue where you need an .MSI file or other driver files but all the vendor is supplying is a SETUP.EXE file.
Well many .EXE files can via some obscure parameters /Extract /B or whatever be extracted, but as all vendors use different utilities to create their .EXE files it can be hard to figure out how to expand them, plus some .EXE files actually can not be extracted (or is not designed to).. Usually WinRAR is a good bet, it can actually extract many .EXE filetypes.. but not all 🙁
Fear no more, Uniextract to the rescue… maybe it wont extract ALL but atleast it extracted many of the files I had problems with, so big thumbs up from me.. It is quite easy to use, once installed just right click on the .EXE file and select extract to subdirectory.. Easy as pie 😀
Just read about an ingenious new technology “ShotSpotter“, imagine a person firing a handgun and automatically within minutes police arrive without anyone calling them..
How it works? Simple, a number of microphones are placed on top of buildings in larger cities, they detect the special sound pattern of gun shots and by triangulation they can determine the vicinity where the shooting took place.. Clever..
