    Hi,
    I have come up with the program that extracts & installs the cab file by using System.Diagonostics & Process.Start() in C#. But all I need is just to unzip the cab files & store in my preferred location & not to extract & install.

    Can anyone help me out ?

    thanks in advance
    dee

    WinRar supports CAB files if you already have it.
