Cabinet Viewer failes to open CABs
When using InstallShield Cabinet File Viewer to open a previously created InstallShield Smart Device CAB file, I get the dialog:
Steps:
[LIST=1]
File -> Open
Select "InstallShield Cab files (*.cab)" in file type dropdown
Select the CAB file to open in the file browser
Click open
Even though I select CAB files from the file type (defaults to HDR files) the error message specifically states HDR files.
I am using Version 16.0 that is included with InstallShield 2010 Premier SP1 on Windows 7 x64.

I beleive the CAB file viewer only works with setups that are built from InstallScript projects. Try opening the CAB file using WinZIP.
