I have an idea for a website.

A website like gamecopyworld but instead of cracked EXE's, it has original EXE's, useful for games that need the original EXE when patching such as GTA San Andreas.

But re-installing takes so long and sometimes you lose your savegames etc.

Does anyone know how to extract files from Installshield 10/11 CAB files?
Data1.cab, Data2.cab etc?

Here is one better, before you overwrite the original installed exe make a backup...


Hurrah!

The original exe's for a lot of games are unarchived, and can usually be found on CD 1.

For Installshield CAB archives, use iXcomp. See http://snoopy81.ifrance.com/snoopy81/en/winpack.htm for WinPack, a GUI for them.

Also, gamers need to learn a few general guidelines before starting to use cracks. One of them is: backup files before overwriting them.

Your whole idea is against the forum rules (although they don't explicitly state that you're not allowed to ask for original files) so, I think, it's time for this thread to be closed.
