How to open and extract files from Dell System Driver Updates without installing them?

Is there a way to extract Dell System Driver Updates without the executable actually trying to load the files to the system that opened them?

The reason I am asking is that it is quite frustrating to do a new install of OS by setting disk drives to IDE mode for compatibility instead of using AHCI directly. Later I load the needed drivers and set the system back to AHCI mode and PRAY it works! It becomes especially frustratating for chipset and graphics drivers.

If I could get the drivers extracted from the service updates I could wite them to media and have the system install SATA or other drivers upfront during the OS load.

Since I am using another computer to download and open files I dont want the executable to install those drivers to the one I am using for the downloads! I want those files only for new media using programs like Winlite to create a total emergency and unattended re-install media.
