MakeCab for folders?

[NOTS3W]

In the sticky topic on creating your own add-ons, step 7 says to use makecab to create a cab file of the svcpack folder and the ini file. Everytime I try that, I get an error that svcpack is not a file. So how do you use makecab to create a cab that includes both a file and a folder?

I have a folder that contains the ini file and the svcpack sub-folder (which contains the installation exe). I tried using makecab on the parent folder to include everything and that's where the problem occurs.

Any help? I can't find any decent explanations here or anywhere else on how to use makecab this way.

Makecab is for files, for svcpack directory use CabTool or CabPack.

I use CabPack for your GUI friendly.

Thanks. I'll have to do that. I just hate having to download one utility for this and another for that. Especially when Windows has or ought to have comparable programs. But I guess I have no choice in this situation.

I think the sticky on making your own add-ons is misleading, though, and ought to be updated to NOT say that makecab will work for files and folders.
