Windows Update, how to extract driver?

[Hansoon]

Is there a way to extract/copy one of the drivers downloaded with "Windows Update"?

Reason I'm asking is that there is in Windows Update a W7/PS driver for the Bizhub-BW-350 which is not available from KonicaMinolta. Trying to avoid to wait 10 minutes or more for W-Update every time I need it when at the customers location.

I believe what you are looking for is in %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Download. (Well, at least on XP--don't have win7 with me to test it.)

Now, whether or not you can find the file you want is another issue.
Probably the best way would be to conduct an update on a virgin install of windows and install only the driver in Windows Update.

If not, you could probably contact Microsoft the file.

Konica doesn't have a driver?

Try the one for Vista x86/x64. Should work.
