How I can extract Binary file from EXE file?
I have a BIOS file .EXE and I want to extract the bainary file from it to flash it to a BIOS chip directly with USB EEPROM programmer.
- What I have tried: Extracting the EXE file with 7ZIP or WINZIP to
look if there is a BIN file inside it, But I only find ROM file.
I tried diffrent programs like universal extracter and the same result.
Any one have any idea how to do that?

Why do you assume there should be a .BIN file? ASUS motherboards, as an example, use a .ROM extension for the update file. Is there a reason you don't want to run the mfr's standalone update utility?

I repair electronics for living, sometimes laptops came with stuck bios firmwere and we need to flash it again on external programmer to make the laptop work again, we use only BIN files to flash these chips direclty, and these files doesnt always exsist, so I need away to do it by myself

There are various methods for extracting the BIOS file from the installation
files. That file can have various formats: ROM, BIN, FD, CAP, BIO, WPH and EFI.
Use 7-Zip or Uni Extract.
Find in TEMP folder:
Many installers extract the package file into the TEMP directory. Launch the setup
and once the first dialog or prompt is displayed, examine your TEMP directory for
a newly created sub-directory or file. Copy that file from TEMP folder and then
cancel the installation.A Dell
.exeBIOS file can be extracted by running
install-file.exe /writeromfile.
Other known parameters arewritehdrfileandwritehexfile.
Another method is to use
PFSExtractor.This thread
describes using the tool B2MB.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of all the possible formats.
