Has anyone had any luck extracting AMD chipset drivers from amd_chipset_software.exe?

I've tried everything, including asking for help from a bunch of AI's.

Have you had any luck extracting so you can integrate into your NTLite iso? If so, how did you do it? Which tools did you use?

The attached pic is as far as I've gotten, but I don't think it's right. I think there are files missing.

Not sure if it will help, but I just installed the amd chipest drivers for b650e through the exe(Amd_chipest_software) after extracting first with 7zip.
It gave me a option to choose between: 3D_v-chache_performance, gpio2, i2c,interface,psp,pmf. I only installed gpio2 and i2c since it indicated that I only had those with older version on fresh windows install.

Thanks for the info, @quo. AMD obfuscates the heck out of their chipset driver package. What you're looking at above is a .msi inside of an .exe inside of an .exe.

There are some issues integrating the as-is output into NTLite, depending on whether you're integrating into Win10 or Win11.

I think I've got it hammered out now, but if anyone has a bulletproof way they've been doing it, I'd love hear.

I just run the Exe, and go to C:\AMD\Chipset_Software\Packages\IODriver. If you want to select just the drivers for your machine, load up Vanilla windows and go to the Drivers tab, then put all of those subfolders into NTLite and click "Remove Unused Drivers" (or however it is spelled in English? Mine is in PT-BR), It'll auto-remove everything not used by your machine (you can also do it for another machine by loading a HWList), then copy those driver files NTLite is keeping to a separate folder.

As an example here's the AMD Drivers folder vs just the driver files of one specific machine I use (so just the GPIO2, I2C, INTERFACE, MicroPEP, PPMPF, PSP and SMBUS folders):

I just run the Exe

Thanks but the exe refuses to run on non-amd hardware. I haven't discovered any flags for the exe.

The legacy chipset installer extracts the way you describe just fine.

hmm thats interesting, because i rolled the amd chipset drivers along with a stack of other intel equivs into one of my images and when you install it on an intel machine - the amd chipset drivers and all the associted services come installed, same with the processor support that come packaged with the chipset drivers like the vcache service. its annoying because the way they get rolled into the image bypasses the normal "only install on supported hardware" check that are built into the installer packages. in the vice versa case - i have an amd rig that is running all of the services for intel management engine.

fyi:
try running the driver installer from a cmd line with the "/?" switch, quite a lot of driver packages actually have a switch that creates an unattended installer package and by invoking the help switch they often give you the switch options.

As you want to integrate these drivers maybe you got a PC that needs these drivers and is able to install these drivers.
So setup this PC with a clean image and install these drivers. Then export these drivers (i use DISM++) to get a folder with all needed files. After that you can integrate with NTlite.

What chipset version.... I have the latest extracted,
