View Full Version : Installshield CABS - uncompressing/adding to/recompressing question.

I wanted to snoop around the CAB files that Norton AntiVirus uses - but found that they were not Microsoft CAB format (CAB Viewer wouldn't open them).

I saw a installshield decompressor here, but it didn't work.

Is there any way to open those CAB files to add, replace, or remove files?

Sorry for a dumb question, but I just want to see inside the cabs and can't.

a new version of the installshield comp utility has been released.
It should work. You cabn get it from protools.cjb.net
Its version 0.20
Hope that will help.
