ZeakX Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Easy...I am pretty sure that WinRAR will let you view the content of a .cabYou can download version of this software hereHope my first post on here was as usefull as I have found this site.Best say that i think that is a Trail Version as well.ThanksZeakX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crck3rz Posted July 3, 2004 Author Share Posted July 3, 2004 sorry but ur wrong. WinRAR does not recognize Install Shield CAB files which are usually CAB files by the name of data1.cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrzycrim Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 This one is shareware. Haven't been able to find a freeware app that will do this.http://www.foobarsoftware.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrzycrim Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 He needs to open InstallShield Cab files. Most archive programs just choke on 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crispy Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 If you want to open install shield cab files you can use the attached command line program. You normally need data1.cab, data2.cab and data1.hdr to make it work.Should work with most never install packages...cab6.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
