Not extracting files for Surface Laptop 1st gen #35

For me the script works as intended with the file you named, so I don't really know what could be done. You could try extracting the MSI file yourself with msiextract and then pass that directory to the repack script instead of the MSI file. |

Thanks for the reply, after some tests I managed to generate the .cab files by running the script two times. The first time as is, the second one with this line: commented. It seems that the script was exiting after that command without repacking the files. However, I'm not sure if all the .cab files are created, since by comparing the list in the README from what I get it looks like some are missing: I know the two firmwares aren't the same (mine is for the Surface Laptop, while the one in the example is for the Surface Book), but I also tried this with the Surface Book 2 one and I still can't get the full list.

And then only process the .inf files from that directory.
This already exists: https://github.com/linux-surface/surface-uefi-firmware/blob/master/repack.sh#L105-L112 I am looking into ways to make it print an error statement when it fails instead of just exiting. |
The script is not extracting the files in the fwupdates folder, but generate a tmp.* folder with a subdirectory SurfaceUpdate containing this list of files and directory:
The file I'm trying to extract is SurfaceLaptop_Win10_18362_21.101.11476.0.msi and the output of the command
