Extracting a File from an InstallScript .cab or .hdr File
InstallShield 2022
Project:This information applies to the following project types:
| • | InstallScript |
| • | InstallScript Object |
When a data1.cab or data1.hdr file is open in the InstallShield Cabinet and Log File Viewer, you can extract any of the files that are compressed into your installation’s cab files and save them elsewhere.
To extract a file:
| 1. | In the left pane, expand the Components node, expand the component that contains the file that you want to extract, and then click the Files node under that component. |
| 2. | In the right pane, select the record for the file that you want to extract. |
| 3. | On the Tools menu, click Extract File. The Save dialog box opens. |
| 4. | Browse to the location where you want the InstallShield Cabinet and Log File Viewer to extract the file, and then click the Save button. |
Note:Media files and components may be password protected. If the entire media are password protected, you must enter the correct password before you can open the cabinet files that are associated with that media. If individual components are password protected, you must enter the correct password before you can extract the compressed files that are associated with that component.
