An error occurs when trying to extract the SQL 2014 SP3 installer

Question

Translated by google translate

Hello, I ask this question to find the solution to this new problem that I have. When downloading the SQL 2014 SP3 installer file and starting to extract the SETUP, a folder is generated on the C:/ partition of my drive.
When the extraction of the files is finished, the program tries to open but immediately closes (it only opens the CMD) and the folder that it previously created is moved or deleted.
I tried to find the folder or at least the installer (setup.exe) but windows didn't find anything.

Hi @Valentino Torresi ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
To extract the SQL Server 2014 SP3 downloaded from https://www.microsoft.com/es-es/download/confirmation.aspx?id=57474 , run the following command:
{Express package} /X:{Directory to extract to}
Example:
SQLServer2014SP3-KB4022619-x64-ENU.exe /X:c:\YourDirectory

Best regards,
Seeya

Are you trying to extract the setup for a slipstream version/manual install or are you actually running the SQLServer2014SP3-KB4022619-x64-ENU.exe file?

To extract the files, you'd normally open a command prompt to the folder you have the
SQLServer2014SP3-KB4022619-x64-ENU.exe
file in and then run the following:

SQLServer2014SP3-KB4022619-x64-ENU.exe /extract "Destination Folder Path"  

This may then prompt you to confirm the path with a pop-up window:

This should extract all the files to the path you have defined. The GUID path to me looks like a temporary folder that the file is using and not the actual path you are interested in.
