the setup.cab is used by CI 8*, to display the images etc, NOT for your game archives.
you create a m0 ( no compression archive, for your game ) then you precomp that file, which will end up bigger then original archive, then srep the output file from precomp, finally re-archive the output srep file with whatever compression you want. ALL filenames must have same prefix, IE use data.arc then data. - - - for both precomp & srep. At the very end you can specify the final filename output as either *.arc/cab/bin whatever you want to call it, could even be mnbvhgoewe... the name + extension is up to you. Just make sure that the script knows what filename+extension its supposed to look for.
As for the images NOT showing up its because the setup.cab file MUST use either winrar or 7-zip to add / replace images in it. First lines on page 1 of this topic.
Here is a big tutorial for my CI (C Custom I Installer) 8:
Required files for the installation..... ( next line ) tells you what setup.cab is & how to edit it.
