EXE as the output
filename. This option works by using the full name of the file that??™s embedded as part of the
compressed file. (The XVI32 utility explored in the ???Using XVI32 to View Files in Depth??? section
of Chapter 22 tells you how to view inside of a file.)
-D Displays the list of files in the source file. When used with a single compressed file, you see
only a single filename as output. CAB files normally contain multiple files.
-F:Files Decompresses one or more selected files within a CAB file. You can specify multiple
files by supplying wildcard characters. (See the ???Working with Wildcard Characters??? sidebar
for details.) Don??™t use multiple copies of the -F command line switch to specify multiple discrete
files. When you want to expand single files from a CAB file, you must use the Expand utility
once for each file.
The Expand utility is extremely useful because it doesn??™t require a running copy of Windows to
work. For example, you can use this utility from the Recovery Console where other third-party utilities
will fail to work. Microsoft has created a Knowledge Base article to discuss the various scenarios for
using the Expand utility at http://support.
