Firmware File Types (.prg) and (.exe)
Firmware File Types (.prg) and (.exe)
Using firmware with an .exe extension FILENAME.exe is convenient.
However, firmware with the .exe extension may not be available in all
situations. Download methods described in Table 1 which require the .prg
extension, FILENAME.prg , is required (e.g., Windows Drivers and Web
Page).
The FILENAME.prg file can be extracted from the FILENAME.exe file by
executing the command in a Windows Command Prompt session:
FILENAME<Enter>
This will extract the FILENAME.prg file in the same directory where
FILENAME.exe was executed. For example, executing 123456.exe in the
directory C:\download will generate a file C:\download\1 23456.prg .
IMPORTANT
Be sure to copy the FILENAME.exe file to your computer’s local drive
before executing commands in the Windows Command Prompt.
