[RESOLVED] cab files

[claymore]

Is there a program similar to winzip to read and modify cabinet files?

[Paul Cunningham]

Power Archiver does the job nicely. It's generaly on the PC Answers cover disc or get it from http://www.powerarchiver.com/

Winzip can read and work with .cab files. Been part of winzip since like version 6 or so.

do you need to install the cabview.dll/inf or does winzip handle it all?

You know that you can use the extract command to open cab files? Though obviously it cant update and save them.

This is a page on extract and it's switches.

Jus tdownload new trial version 8.x of winzip and its ready to do what you need. X

Yes Winzip 8 can handle CAB files directly. You dont need anything else. But one thing though. It can handle only the Microsoft defined CAB files only.

At the DOS prompt, type "extract /?"
