MakeCab - Create windows cabinet file package with specified files included

(1) Did not seem to work.
(2) Rather than excplicitly stating C:\WINNT
Not a huge deal, but you can you use - %windir% instead of C:\WINNT ?

Sure, people would have C:\WINNT, but a clean install of XP or 2003 creates a C:\WINDOWS directory.

Thanks,

Kent

that was actually the starting reason why I came to this UDF.

first it.
it screwed badly, checked for MSI and saw that it's fully scriptable...
scanned some more and somehow found a way to cab-files.

WinZip opens the CAB files too.. Looks good! Thanks Jooel!

The only question is.. Are there any other formats this supports? I know when you install WinME or XP for the first time, you get an internal Zip viewer. This viewer is built-in to Windows Explorer too.

WinZIP 8.x also has a command-line version too. Maybe ARJ, ZOO, LZH, too? [Big Grin]

I do like Jooel's thinking of going with internal tools.

IIRC, WinMe needs to be manually activated by installing through Control Panel / Add remove software
