Today I wanted to extract: W8-1-1 x32 refs.sys file b17031 from the update above (W8-1-1) from package: Code: x86_microsoft-windows-refs_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.17031_none_3b493768385a5e30 ...but the directory above is empty after extraction... Could ANYBODY HELP me? Thanks Error message of 2nd expand command: Code: Expanding Files .... Progress: 26331 out of 36602 files One or more files could not be expanded.
