Hi to all,
If I tick off the "Package the setup into a self-extracting executable (.exe) file" option during the media building I'll obtain an only .exe file instead of the several files including .cab and .hdr.
Well is it possible to open a self-extracting executable package with Cab File Viewer tool like a cabinet or is it possible to "treat" the .exe file to re-obtain .cab and/or .hdr?

Thanks.
Ciao, Giuseppe

I believe that you can use a standard zip compression tool like WinZip to extract the files from the self-extracting exe.  Then you can use iscabvu on the extracted files.

Yes, WinZip will correctly do the extraction job.
