Re: A good .cab viewer / extractor?

The one problem I ran into with unzipping .cabs is that the file names are all obfuscated. I wrote a little program to go through the _setup.xml and rename them all to the correct name. It creates a sub directory called renamed and copies them in there. I have only tested this on a few _setup.xml files, so it is by no means comprehensive. You will probably need .NET 3.5 installed for this to run BTW.

Here is the exe and the source if you want to build/expand on it yourself:
