From: Leszek on 14 Feb 2005 04:49 Hello! I'm trying to create a cab file and extract it. XP is using a library for it, but i cannot find anything about it.... I don't want to use 3rd party's tools like cabarc/compress/extract. Can someone give me a tip for it?

Microsoft Cabinet Software Development Kit <URL:http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;EN-US;310618> You can build CAB files using the "MAKECAB.EXE" utility that is IIRC included in Windows. For extracting CAB files, you can use Microsoft's "EXTRACT.EXE", which is available on the Windows XP CD or as part of the Windows XP Support Tools: <URL:http://groups.google.de/groups?selm=u%24EaZ074EHA.1296%40TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl> Alternative you can use p/invoke on 'SetupIterateCabinet'.
