hankjrfan00 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I am trying to extract some files from the win 98 cabs but I can't seem to keep the long file names. Most files in the cabs do not have long filenames but some do. I have tried extract.exe, extract32.exe, and IZArc.Help me please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilemke Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I have extractnow and some other programs installed.. But for extracting, I use WinRAR.. I know for a fact you can extract those files from a cab file without problems just by rightclicking and selecting extract in the the WinRAR shell extension.

MDGx Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 (edited) I always use extrac32.exe to preserve LFNs of files inside CABs.FYI:98SE2ME.EXE installs latest version of extrac32.exe [5.2.3790.0]:http://www.msfn.org/board/?showtopic=46349You don't have to install any 98SE2ME options, just install 98SE2ME.EXE in C:\9!M = the installer will do that automatically when you 1st run it.It will also copy EXTRAC32.EXE from C:\9!M into %windir% and will overwrite whatever older [buggy] version you may have.Then you can uninstall 98SE2ME from either:- Start button -> Programs -> 98SE2ME -> run "Uninstall 98SE2ME" shortcut.OR:- Start button -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> select "98SE2ME: Killer Replacements: ME -> 98 SE" -> click Add/Remove button.To install 98SE2ME.EXE you must be running Win98 SE OS.Older extrac32 versions may be buggy. This newer one is ok as far as I know.If you prefer other [3rd party] tools to do this:http://www.mdgx.com/toy.htm#ZIPLook at the ones which support CAB format.Most are free(ware).HTH Edited July 27, 2006 by MDGx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
