I am trying to install a program that has its install files compressed in MS Cabinet (.CAB) format, and the installer keeps hanging on one of the CAB files saying it's corrupted. However, I can use Windows Explorer or WinZip and extract the files from the CAB just fine. Problem is, for the installer to work what I want to try is to take the extracted files and re-compress them into a fresh CAB file.
I've been told in the past that CAB files are little more than ZIP files with a different extension (a la id Software's pak/pk3 files), but when I make the archive with WinZip and rename it from .ZIP to .CAB it fails to recognize the file as a CAB when the installer runs.
How do I properly make a CAB file? Is there any nice little program that will do this? <B>
