Is there any way to programatically extract a cab file using C#?

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your post!

.Net FCL currently did not include the class to handle CAB files, however,
Win32 has Cabinet SDK, which meets your need. We have to use p/invoke to
leverage Cabinet SDK to get this done. Below is the sample article:
"View and Extract CAB File Contents Programmatically"
http://www.thescarms.com/VBasic/CabExplorer.asp

For p/invoke related problem, I think
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.interop newsgroup is a suitable place.

Thanks

Hello,

I downloaded "cabdotnet1.zip", extracted and opened the project up and was
told that the project is missing two files:

CabCompressor.cs
CabDecompressor.cs

Does anyone have these two files or know of a project that is complete?
