    Hi

    I am looking for a program to allow me to extract and repack a data cab file that is used by Installshield 14 installer. I have tried Universal exctract 1.6.1 - but this does not work

    thanks

    I've got a InstallShield setup, that UE is able to extract, but I still haven't found a way, to replace a file inside that cabs. i??comp says it's not IS6. But how do find out which version it is and how to replace files? (Or may it be easier, if possible, to dissamble the whole setup, like with WiX, and recompile it?)
