Yup, I use mkvtoolnix, but it doesn't extract the the subtitle file. You can see it but you can't extract it.

Needing to extract subtitles only seems to occur with .mkv files. It doesn't occur with .mp4 or .avi files since the subtitle file for those two formats are either already extracted, or burned-in, or just not available.

To extract subtitles in MKVToolnix you need to install gMKVExtract to the Toolnix folder.
Just unzip the folder and copy the files. Then run gMKVExtract and drop an MKV file on it.

Are you sure that you really need to put it in that folder? Because:

• Automatic MKVToolNix Detection: Automatically detects the MKVToolNix installation directory from the Windows registry, no manual path configuration needed.
• Standalone Executable: The gMKVExtractGUI executable doesn't need to be placed inside the MKVToolNix directory.

Also, there is no need to go on Videohelp, the .7z file to unpack is available directly on GitHub where the project is hosted so it will always be updated there first and so you can log in to GitHub to add the project to your watchlist to automatically receive an email each time when a newer version gets added to the project's releases (and to communicate with the developer in case an issue turns up). When you click on Releases (on the right of the page) it takes you to this:
