HOW TO EXTRACT CAB FILE USING COMMAND LINE TOOLS IN WINDOWS 11/10


Download PC Repair Tool to quickly find & fix Windows errors automatically

In the Windows environment, CAB refers to Cabinet files – an archive file format
for Microsoft Windows. The format supports data compression and embedded digital
certificates used for maintaining archive integrity. Using this file format, a
user can store multiple files/folders into a single file with or without
involving data compression in this archive.

Windows 11/10/8/7 can unzip or extract the contents of a compressed file as it
is natively compatible with CAB files. Moreover, the OS can create, extract, or
rebuild cab files. This means you do not require any additional third-party
software for this task. All CAB files can be unzipped using basic Windows
command-line tools.

There are three built-in Windows command-line tools for dealing with CAB files:

 1. expand.exe
 2. makecab.exe
 3. extrac32.exe


1] EXPAND.EXE



To see the command line option available for expand.exe, open a Command Prompt
window, type the following and hit Enter:

expand /?


2] MAKECAB.EXE



To see the command line option available for makecab.exe, open a Command Prompt
window, type the following and hit Enter:



makecab.exe


3] EXTRAC32



To see the command line option available for extrac32, open a Command Prompt
window, type the following and hit Enter:

extrac32 |more

EXTRACT CAB FILE USING COMMAND LINE

To extract the contents of Cab files, you can use any of the above tools. Let us
take the example of expand.exe tool.

To extract the contents of a .cab file, first change the directory to point to
the location of the source using the CD command and then run the following
command:

Expand TWC.cab -F:* C:\TWCFolder



Here you are extracting the contents of TWC.cab file into the C:\TWCFolder. -F
is the number of files to expand. When you use ‘*’, it means all the files.

When completed, the tool will display the complete list of extracted files.

Close the command prompt windows and go to Windows Explorer. There, the complete
list of full extracted file structure should be visible to you.

Incidentally, several free file compression software including 7-Zip, let you
easily compress or extract the contents of a CAB file on a Windows system.
