With InstallShield 8 I can only choose between "One Cab per Component" and "One Cab per Feature".
The problem is that I've so much Features(and much more Components) that my setup has to many *.cab

Is there any solution to have a min of cab files?

My only suggestion would be to cut down on the number of features if that is possible in your setup.

Anyone else have any ideas?

I also had the problem to "cab" a setup and the two possibilities "One Cab per Component" and "One Cab per Feature" weren't really what I was looking for.
To solve the problem I wrote a VBScript that allows to build a partially cabbed setup, based on components. You can select which components shall be put to which cab-file and which components shall be left uncompressed. The script needs MS's tool MakeCab.exe and Windows Scripting host 5.6.

If you're interested, please send me an EMail with the text 'CAB-Script' in the subject.
