IExpress Does Not Create Self-Extracting .exe Files (189350)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer Administration Kit 4.0
This article was previously published under Q189350 SYMPTOMS
When you use the IExpress program to make a self-expanding .exe file, the
following error occurs:
Unable to find C:\Program Files\IEAK\Tools\wextract.exe. Please
make sure it is in the path or in the same folder as IExpress.exe
CAUSE
The Wextract.exe is needed by IExpress.exe to make the .cab file self-
extracting. If it is not placed in the C:\Program Files\IEAK\Tools
folder with IExpress.exe, the error message occurs. IExpress
will still create the .cab file, but it will not make it a self-extracting
.exe file.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, copy Wextract.exe from the
C:\Program Files\IEAK\iebin\en\optional folder into the C:\Program
Files\IEAK\Tools folder. IExpress.exe should then function normally.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Internet
Explorer Administration Kit version 4.0.
This is a known bug as is being reviewed. It is unclear if this will be
fixed on the Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 1 but there is a
possibility.
