If the source contains more
than one file, this parameter is required to identify
the< specific file(s) to be expanded. May include
wildcards. |
| /d |
Do not expand; only display a directory of the files which are contained in the source. |
The destination might be any directory within the system directories of the current Windows installation, the root of any drive, the local installation sources, or the Cmdcons directory. The destination cannot be removable media. The destination file cannot be read-only. Use the attrib command to remove the read-only attribute. Expand prompts if the destination file already exists unless /Y is used.

Examples
Expand d:\i386\hal.dl_
c:\windows\system32\hall.dll
Would expand the compressed
version of the hall.dll file to the proper directory on the
computer. All compressed files will end with a underscore.
Therefore any windows file you're attempting to replace can be
substituted in the above example.
