How to Edit CAB files

[Joe Forster/STA]

Hey VanTokkern,

Remember that the iXcomp softwares have been discontinued years ago, so they might not be as easy to use as you'd expect...

Actually, it's not the ixcomp I'm complaining about, they simply replace the files in the CABs, unlike CabARC, where you have to unzip the CAB file. And rebuild it file by file. But I got plenty of time , I'm glad I can edit those CAB files at all!

This is why some tricks must be used. Anyway, i6comp is still plenty of health.

Good luck!

I recommend Installshield 11.5. It has a tool called InstallShield Cabinet File Viewer which lets you extract files from Installshield cabs. I used this on my Rainbow Six Vegas DVD to get the original EXE back so I could patch it.

I´m making it with a modified BartPE file...

Put all files (after changing your wallpapers and so on) in the "Setup"-folder inside the "source"-folder.
- Autorun Folder
- Background Folder
- Setup Folder
- Font.ttf
- Music.mp3
... and so on

Start "make.bat"

The ready cab-file is then in Folder "cabs"

Thx and have a nice day....
