Intro

Sometimes, with my Dell devices, I need to extract a large number of driver .exe files, so I've been working on a PowerShell command to do this.

Command

• Place all .exe files in the C:\TEMP\ folder:

• Open the PowerShell console and go to C:\TEMP\:

PS C:\Users\Administrator> cd C:\TEMP\

• Paste this command into the PowerShell console:

PS C:\TEMP> foreach ($app in $(Get-ChildItem | ? { $_.Name -match "exe" })) { Start-Process -FilePath "C:\TEMP\$($app.Name)" -ArgumentList "/s /e=C:\TEMP\_$($app.Name)" -Wait }

• Result:
