I install windows alot and am looking for the right file, in the right cab that I can insert my CD key in so I do not have to dig this out everytime. It should be easy to do, I install off my HD so its just a matter of knowing what to edit.

I would appreciate any idea,
Thanks

Hi,
To list the content of each cabinet files, without extracting any file, you can use the "extract.exe" utility.
- extract /a /d path:\cab file1 - where "cab file1" is the first cab file in the cab folder.
- extract /d path:\cab fileX - will list the content of the specified cab fileX.
I hope this will help.

Hi all,

The easiest way to find which file belongs to which cab is to do it in windows itself. I know that you can extract the file from dos but for those who dont know how to use the extract command, you can go into your windows and click on start/find/files or folders. and then list the cabfiles from the cd or your hardrive(eg: *.cab)and then hit find now. Once that is done, click on the advance key and type the name of the file that needs to be replaced and it should tell you which cab file it is in.

Cheers
