Add Makecab and Expand in SendTo

[jdoe]

It may be installed with INF that places needed file in needed folder and makes shortcut in SendTo menu

Thanks for the idea.

I gonna try an INF compiled in SFX archive. That should be perfect for a small installer.

Well, frankly speaking I don't use INF for installing this. I install it just placing in one of the HFSLIP folders and it is CABed and integrated into my distro automatically. I just have to make this shortcut with my install.inf (installs all my regestry tweaks, arrange links and does other things during unattended):

[Version]
Signature=$CHICAGO$

[DefaultInstall]
UpdateInis = Arrange.Link

[Arrange.Link]
; Send To
setup.ini, progman.groups,, "group11=""%16393%"""
setup.ini, group11,, """CAB Tool"",""""""%11%\cabtool.exe"""""",,,,""%11%"",""cabtool.exe"""

In this example tool is in system32 because with HFSLIP it is impossible by now to install it in %ProgramFiles%.

Change it according to your needs.

Yes, that's better because credits should go to the Master

Couple of questions:

Does it always have to capatalize?

Does it work the same as modifype when cabbing single files?

Also any way to add a nice pretty icon?

ModifyPE is for changing file checksum information in the PE header when you hack a file. It has nothing to do with CAB compression

[Kelsenellenelvian]

Alright good point.

[Oleg_II]

But modifype usage was included in previous version?

[Kelsenellenelvian]

I added a nice pretty Icon in both 16x16 and 32x32 sizes. Looks rather XPized. The final size is only increased by 5kb. If you like it just use this one.

kelsenellenelvian,

I would be stupid to not like this icon but I'm sure you'll understand if I ask you where this icon come from.

If it's your own work, be sure this icon is in the next build.

[Kelsenellenelvian]

One of the gnu icons gleaned form wincustomize.dot com so it is safe to use.

CAB Tools 1.8

See first post for details and download link.

Drop 1.5 and get this one. It's a little bit better.

Any bug ?

And /C for extracting files only.

It always amazes me how I stumble upon these multipage threads that have somehow escaped my attention. Just in time too. I was just going to start making a VBscript that does exactly what this does. No sense in reinventing the wheel, especially when it wouldn't be as good of a wheel

Thanks for the great tool.

[Kelsenellenelvian]

Hey I love this app and thanks for the GREAT update!!!!
