I am trying to install win95 from a cd-rom to my formatted hard drive, I can`t because when I do install.exe it says it can`t read the .cab files on the cd-rom disk. How can I get past this?

don't you mean setup.exe? Try copying whole win95 dir to hard drive and run setup from there.
If you copy the entire win95 directory from the CDrom to your C: drive, you can run setup directly from C:\win95>setup. This way Windows will never ask you to insert your Windows 95 CDrom during subsequent hardware installations, etc. It automatically writes the source files location to the Windows registry as C:\win95.
Once you have Windows installed and running, go to the Microsoft website and download Windows 95 Powertoys. There is a very helpful .cab file viewer included.
Good Luck!
