Extract .cab file

[annayro]

Hello everyone



I need to extract a .cab file during the installation process. I have tried with Shell.Exectute and launch the cmd.exe with the ''extract'' argument but the console is launched and the content is not extracted.



Thanks in advance.

Google is your friend. Cabinet files are not created or handled by Setup Factory, by you can extract contents with command line tools.

Hello Ulrich,


Thank you very much for answering me so soon. I have just used the page that you indicate me and this would be my code in setup factory ... but it is not extracting anything


path = "C:\\Users\\Desktop\\Microsoft .WebView2.FixedVersionRuntime.100.0.1185.44.x86.ca b"
SessionVar.Set("%path%", path)

path2 = "C:\\Users\\ana.spatacean\\Desktop\\ANA"
SessionVar.Set("%path2%", path2)

Shell.Execute(SessionVar.Expand("%SystemFolder%\\c md.exe"), "open", "/C expand "..SessionVar.Expand("%path%").. " -F:* "..SessionVar.Expand("%path2%"), "", SW_SHOWNORMAL, true);


I don't see what could be wrong.
