Extracting the Contents of a CAB File
In order to extract what is in a cabinet file, you must use the Extract
utility. Extract.Exe can be found in your Windows folder or on your Windows
95, Windows 98, Windows NT, or Windows 2000 installation CD-ROM.
Extract.Exe is a command-line utility; therefore it is used from an MS-DOS
command prompt. To extract the files within a cabinet file, be sure the
Extract.Exe utility is in the MS-DOS Path or copy the Extract utility to the
same folder as the cabinet file.
From the MS-DOS command prompt, you can run the following command to extract
all of the files in a CAB file into the current directory:
Extract ActiveX.CAB *.*
where "ActiveX.CAB" is the name of your cabinet file.
For more information on using the Extract.Exe utility, you may type the
following command at an MS-DOS command prompt:
