MakeCab

[cloudman]

I downloaded makecab and I tryed to use it but when I click on it, the black window will appear and then it closes out, I have no idea how to get it to stay open, am I doing something wrong or what. and also how do I get the activation files, intergated I have tried but seems to not work. Thanks in advance

MakeCab.exe works via commandline. Drop makecab.exe into system32 folder and open a CMD prompt and type:

makecab /?

MAKECAB [/V[n]] [/D var=value ...] /F directive_file [...]

  source		 File to compress.
  destination	File name to give compressed file.  If omitted, the
				 last character of the source file name is replaced
				 with an underscore (_) and used as the destination.
