I am not sure if i understand correctly your problem but I will try to explain the general idea behind WMIand than we can try to move it further. As Joe Friday said, 'Just the facts, please.' (Oops, I've just dated myself!) This is worthy of a whole new thread I searched the forum but came up empty. Be that as it may, how may an administrator make manual WMI entries for hardware where the installer fails to make WMI entries? What info do I need to have at hand and what to use to edit the WMI database? I'm of course looking for the Quick Start answer so to avoid having to read up on WMI. Apparently the installers did not write entries to the WMI database. As much as I'd like to spend hours becoming expert in WMI I can't afford to. When taking inventory from the Ghost Console the installed cards (both wireless) fail to show up in inventory! My few hours research leads me to think the cards are not present in the machine's WMI database. Unfortunately I have a new problem: How to deal with hardware not present in a machine's WMI database? From there I identified the inf's, catalog, and driver files. I had to locate an Installshield 12 viewer/extractor for the other. I extracted files from one set of cabs with Universal Extractor. If individual components are password protected, you must enter the correct password before you can extract the compressed files that are associated with that component. If the entire media are password protected, you must enter the correct password before you can open the cabinet files that are associated with that media. Note: Media files and components may be password protected. The Save dialog box opens.īrowse to the location where you want the InstallShield Cabinet and Log File Viewer to extract the file, and then click the Save button. In the right pane, select the record for the file that you want to extract.

In the left pane, expand the Components node, expand the component that contains the file that you want to extract, and then click the Files node under that component. When a data1.cab or data1.hdr file is open in the InstallShield Cabinet and Log File Viewer, you can extract any of the files that are compressed into your installation’s cab files and save them elsewhere.
