Guest sztupy Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 now I tried pkg2cab with a simple folder to test: bubblebreaker.exe here's the output, not sure if I could do something.. SztupYs pkg2cab tool 0.1 Checking for registry entries Registry entries found: Converting registry entries to INF format Warning: Error occured while converting registry files!

Guest sztupy Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) pkg2cab does only support "flat" directories, so if your directory contains modules (directories that look like files), then you have to copy the file out of them manually, and delete the directory and because you don't have initflashfiles and registry files it will crash.

Guest lastnikita Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I don't understand.. it IS a flat dir, doesn't have any folder that looks like a file into it ! there is only one initflashfiles, I don't get this neither.. so it doesn't support apps without registry needs ? Should I add a fake one for it to work ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I add a fake one for it to work ? pkg2cab works with oem packages. but what you wanted to cab up, was a module. A package has a .dsm a .rgu and (optionally) an initflashiles.txt (which can be empty). To get a package use cab2pkg, extractpkg or ervius package creator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest s0cks Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) Hi, I'm using the sztupy's cab2pkg 0.3 and the extraction process is too slow... taking so much time... I'm extracting a 42kb CAB and the process is still running for 10 or more minutes and doesn't ends... Is it normal? SztupYs cab2pkg tool 0.3 Extracting cab Install section FileOperation section Skipping Registry section for now...

Guest s0cks Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) Some .CAB's have this issue. The files are extracted, the registry information is extracted, but the program (cab2pkg) doesn't terminate... And I don't know if the files extracted are OK... but seems yes... I got a OUT_ directory and the PROGRAM (of cab) directory... But the cab2pkg never ends... It's like an infinite loop... Does anyone know why this happen?

Guest Stevenh Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Hi guys, not sure if this is best place to ask but I got 2 questions... 1. What's the best and easiest way to create a cab? 2. What's the best and easiest way to create a package? In both cases I have a bunch of files that I want to end up in \windows and a .rgu registry file... How can I then extend the above to move some files from \windows into another directory without specifying each file? Is it possible to use wildcards? Thanks Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Steven Neither initflashfiles nor provxml files allow the use of wildcards. Of course you might write a small program that would to the job. For example here is a small ruby script that would create an initflashfiles.dat to stdout from a Directory structure (located in the packagedir directory): (written by hearth, untested, might not even compile) require 'fileutils' puts ";-------------------------------------------" puts "; package created with an untested tool" Dir.glob("packagedir/**/*").each do |filename| if File.directory?(filename) then delements = filename.gsub("packagedir/").split(/[\\\/]/) delements.delete_if { |e| e=="" } delements.each_index do |i| if i==0 then puts("root:-Directory(\"#{delements[0]}\")") else puts("Directory(\"\\#{delements[0..i-1].join("\\")}\"):-Directory(\"#{delements[i]}\")") end end else dirname = File.split(filename)[0].gsub("packagedir/","") winfn = File.split(filename)[1] puts("Directory(\"#{dirname}\"):-File(\"#{winfn}\",\"\\Windows\\#{winfn}\")"); end end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tommason Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 Hi I have tried to make a cab file using pkg2cab but it keeps giving me this error " see attachment " ??? Please any thing wrong? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shokka9 Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I never liked the pkg2cab or vice versa.... There are certain elements you need to make a CAB from the files..If you dont know, please google. Also, try getting a cab, making pkg, then making cab from pkg...... I used to use Ervius tools....cant remember exactly, but i know that pkg2cab worked as i used that a few times too. Good luck. It could just be a simple thing like the rgu not being in the right format. It usually is something so simple. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
