extract contents of data1.cab?

[RLN]

I'm using i6comp (isn't that the latest one?). And yes, Barry it's the latest Nancy game.

As I said I haven't done this before. I tried looking up tutorials on how to extract the files but really didn't find anything. The readme's/etc are confusing to me since I don't understand half of what it says. I realize it's an installer, which is why I was using i6comp. That's the only thing I really figured out from all the sites I came acrossed. As for actually getting it to work is the problem.

This is what I was doing to extract the files.

i6comp x data1.cab *.* -e

Is that not how I'm supposed to extract the files?

@RLN

If you want to extract 'all' the files then just use:

i6comp x data1.cab

Make sure you have all the cab files and the data1.hdr file in the same directory as i6comp.exe.

then from the command prompt, go to the files directory and type the above command and press enter. all the files will be extracted to that directory.

Silly question, but why do you want to extract the CAB files? Why not just install the game and let it do it for you!

Perhaps, he just loves hacking. I do!

Grumpy, I used the line i6comp x data1.cab that you suggested but all I got was the same exact files I did when I used i6comp x data1.cab *.* -e. And the same error for all the other files it was trying to extract Check in the installation medium, which I have no idea what that means.

Barry, well I wanted to see if the CDSound & CDVideo folders had anything extra that what it was installing on my harddrive. The game plays both from the cd and the harddrive, hence the CD folders. Those folders aren't copied to the harddrive.

Here's the list of files that are only being extracted. I don't get anything else except these over and over again.
