Windows 10: Driver Help for Samsung

I have never done this, but I want to learn how to do this. My system has a Samsung 950 Pro and for some time now when Samsung releases the NVME driver I just download it, extract it and then run the MSI file for my 64-bit system.

What I would like to learn is how to extract the actual driver files from the MSI file. Is there a tutorial I missed here on how to do this or is there just an easy way to do it that people know?

Thanks

:)

 

HITACHI HTS547550A9E384 ATA driver update

Seriously, this is not helpful. I have a Samsung series 3 laptop, and not only can I not find the driver on Hitachi's site they removed all the drivers on the Samsung site. Any other suggestions?

 

Windows 10 update error "Samsung - Printers - Samsung Universal Print Driver 3 - Error 0x800f024b"

Hi Vinod Archak

same Problen here:

Samsung Printer CLX-3305W, Windows 10 Pro.

Previously Samsung Universal Printer Driver 2 was installed. Windows Update found new Driver Samsung Universal Printer Driver 3, and failed to install. Error Code as above, 0x800f024b.

After this fail, i updated the Samsung Software to new Versions (Easy Printer Manager, Easy Document Creator, Universal Printer Driver from V2 to V3,...) with Samsung Printer Installer (This install the latest component versions in one step...) i use one
Installer for all Samsung print-related driver and software componments.

But Windows Update tries installing Samsung Universal Printer Driver again and again. How can we stop this?

This is not a driver or software problem within Samsung. Print and Scan works fine.

Please help us.

Happy Holiday

Sometimes you can dig into the .exe file and get meaningful stuff out of it. But I just checked the file named "Samsung NVM Express Driver 2.2.exe -- the latest version -- and saw nothing in 7zip (a usually good tool for extracting stuff) that would be human usable. Maybe somebody else has a better idea or tool to recommend? This is what it looks like in part:

Yes, I get the same thing. There must be a way to extract the actual files.

 

I've been trying to suss that out for years now. If you find a way, please let me know. Solving this issue/finding a tool or fix has stubbornly resisted my efforts when you see the preceding .exe file layout no matter what I try. Good luck!

Yea. There's no one simple solution.

What are you trying to accomplish? If you just want to see what Samsung driver files were installed and/or save the old files before they're replaced, there are driver tools like DriverStoreExplorer
On the other hand, if you want to inspect an installation file before it's run, no simple or easy answer.

• As Ed pointed out, 7zip is always a good place to start
• Specific to msi files, i recently started using lessmsi. See snapshot below of one of the Samsung msi files. By their naming convention, reveals 3 sets of driver files. It includes driver files for Win 7, Win 8.1 and Win 10
• When need be, I'll sometimes actually run the installation file. Then may find the driver files

> Sometimes left in Temp space> Sometimes they're placed under Program Files prior to installation> and sometimes they get installed and I go looking in the driver store

HOWEVER, I only use the last method as I use Acronis True Image (for my backups). Acronis TI comes with their "Try and Decide" tool. I start the tool which creates a disk checkpoint. Then i can download, install, tweak, modify and inspect my disk drive however I like. When done, "Try and Decide" allows me to accept all disk changes or back out all disk changes back to the checkpoint.

 

Hi,

A bit late to the party but hopefully this may help:

If you should see dark errors then rename the .exe file so it adheres to the 6 dot 3 standard.

hi sir, good day, i saw your post regarding a link on how to extract samsung nvme driver, but upon checking the link, the tutorial seems to be deleted already. im having trouble regarding how to extract the samsung driver, maybe i can use your help please? thank you

 

Hi,

Easiest way to obtain just the drivers is to install the package and to then just let DriverStoreExplorer.v0.9.5 export the driver package to a destination folder of your choice.

but the problem is i cant install the samsung nvme driver because it cannot detect my ssd.

 

Hi,

I have the same problem as I actually use the Samsung driver to hide a controller problem on a Patriot Helfire drive.

 

@fdegrove Thank you so much sir, i'll try this driver. hope it works. again, Thank You *Smile
