Create cab file from a pc exe install file?

pdappcgeek · #1 (**permalink**) 06-19-2009, 08:28 PM

Is there a way? I did a quick search but couldn't find anything. Thank you!

EDIT:

OK.. I found out how...
either rename the cab file to end in .zip or .rar then open it and extract the cab
-or-
run the pc executable then notice where it sets the installation files to on your pc. Go to that directory after the install and look for the left over cab file

rar up the folder from your device....i could make that into a cab for you....and sashimi can take care of the rest. I would need the entire folder and icon shortcuts to make is into a cab for you and to work correctly.

This is an awesome thread

I know of the first way, installing on pc, go to directory and save the cab file...but didn't know about changing extention to .zip or .rar . I think I'll try those out lol.
