SUMMARYTo obtain a list of files installed by an update, patch, redistributable, or other self-extracting EXE file supplied by Microsoft, use the following command line:
This extracts the contents of {FILENAME} to the {Full-Directory-Path}
directory.
MORE INFORMATION
This technique only works with EXEs packaged using IExpress. To determine
if a self-extracting EXE was built with IExpress, check the EXE file's
version information. To do this, right-click the file from Windows
Explorer, and select Properties. On the Version tab of the file properties
dialog box, the Description should read "Win32 Cabinet Self-Extractor."
The final set of files that are actually installed on a given system by the
EXE depends on the platform and other factors evaluated by the extracted
INF file and any INF files in possible extracted CAB files.
The INF file also contains some of the registry entries made by the EXE. COM component registry entries are typically not listed in any FILE and are made only when the COM component is registered using REGSVR32 or other system tool. REFERENCESFor more information on CAB files and to obtain the CABARC utility, download the Microsoft CAB SDK from the MSDN Online Web Workshop: http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/management/cab/cabdl.aspCABVIEW is currently available as a sample in the Platform SDK and as a Windows 95 Power Tool. Visit the Windows Downloads site to download it: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/default.aspAdvanced INF syntax used in some newer IExpress files is not publicly documented or supported. However, this INF syntax is based on the traditional Setup API documented in the Platform SDK: Platform SDK Documentation: Setup and Systems Management Services; Setup; Setup API. The IExpress technology is only supported with the use of the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK).
