.cab to .inf utility

[Guest lllr]

Does anyone have a .cab to .inf utility? I need to read contents of .cab (registry settings) and write it to a .cab file.

Assuming by the title you're looking for CAB to INF (your message says CAB to CAB!).

There's no easy way to do this, on the Pocket PC you could probably reverse engineer quite simply but the Snartphone uses a compressed format. If you can parse out standard Windows CAB files you can extract the setup.xml file from the CAB where I believe the registry settings are held.

Good luck.

WinZIP can read the CAB file format. Inside, you'll find a file named _setup.xml. This file contains all the setup directives including any registry settings. Note: there may also be a setup DLL in the CAB file which may do additional registry modifications, file creation / copying / renaming, etc.
