Pyron Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 How about this:for "%i" in (*.dll;*.cpl) do makecab "%i"Double the % if you are doing this from a batch file:for "%%i" in (*.dll;*.cpl) do makecab "%%i"-- Pyron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyron Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Step by step:Create an empty textfile in the directory with the cpls. Name it "createcabs.cmd".Edit it and put this into it:for "%%i" in (*.dll;*.cpl) do makecab "%%i"pauseSave it. Double click it. Should work as expected.-- Pyron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcarle Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 My utility posted in this thread allows you to drag and drop multiple files to makecab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Another option to consider would be to use the IEXPRESS tool, that comes with windows itself. (just run it from "Start>>Run") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
