Subject: 11.0 and Vista x64 - Unable to extract x64 image
Posted: 20 June 2014 at 2:50pm
This helped me. PE worked fine, but after some point this error message started to pop-up
Unable to extract x64 image. Run Process Explorer from a writeable directory.
Reason: my TEMP folder was deleted. I assumed that Windows would auto-create it, but that was not the case. So, PE tried to extract 64 bit version to TEMP, but since destination folder didnt exist it wasn't able to extract the 64 bit image.
Solution - create the TEMP folder if you deleted it.
Hopefully, Sysinternals add couple lines to the code so that PE.exe checks
if (if TEMP doesnot exist){
Print "No TEMP folder. Create it? Y(Recommended)/N"
If (User Input is N) {Die "no destination folder to extract to"}
If (User Input is Y) {mkdir TEMP or Die "cant make TEMP"}
}
Hope that helps.
