How can I modify the content of a CAB file located inside a MSI fi

Hi,

We have developed an application for Pocket PC devices using Compact
Framework. Then we have packaged it in several CAB files that users can
download from a web server and install directly in the device. Also those CAB
files ara packaged in a MSI file to allow users to install the application
from a PC through ActiveSync.

In the server-side where reside the installation files, we have various
environments as it is usual (development, integration, production) and when
we pass from one to each other, we don´t want to regenerate the installation
files. The problem is that inside the devive application, there is a property
file that indicates to which web services the application is going to connect
(development, integration, production).

The question is: Is there any way to programatically modify the existing CAB
files and MSI file to replace that property file?

Thanks in advance,
David.
