Hello, I am trying to flash computer Bios, the update bin files are embedded with EXE files (in order to flash it straigh from the OS) in the manufactureer websites. How can I extract teh Bin from the EXE files.
Or How can I change the EXE to BIN.
thanks.

There isnt really a way to do this.

Some EXE's will decompress into windows temp folder or root of the c drive, you can check those locations.

however, most do not do this and the code is embedded in the EXE, the only way to do this is to have a working board to take a dump from and flash to the broken board.

That is what I thought. Searching I found two DOS applications that claim that can change EXE to BIN but they did not work.
they are EXE2BIN and Litefirm.

sometime it is an autoextract compressed file,and you can recover the original BIN uncompressed with winrar.
good luck
