I have a mobile device installer and I would like to update the Cab file where the mobile device application is included and I suppose this exe could help me somehow.
The installer will be installed via desktop and then with the help of the mobile device center or active sync. but before that i would like to replace the file inside the cab file.
ISCab works on the InstallShield cab format. I believe the format used for mobile devices is the Microsoft cab format. These formats are incompatible and so are the tools.
That said, I believe ISCab would be in the \System folder, if we still distribute it.
I have created the entire installer in installshield, together with the mobile device cab file in the mobile device view section of the basic msi project. did you mean this is not an installshield cab format?
by the way, i have not seen the IsCab application in the installshield path that you suggested.
do you have any alternative ways on how can i replace xml files inside that mobile cab installer that was basically created in installshield 2010?
Yes, the mobile device support uses Microsoft's cab format. Of the project types we support, only InstallScript projects use the InstallShield cab format.
My IS 2010 is Premier SP1 with the hotfix 52410, only iscab.exe.manifest dated 2006/1/19 is found in C:\Program Files\InstallShield\2010\System, the iscab.exe itself is missing.
And both the iscab.exe and iscab.exe.manifest are not there in the 2010 standalone build version.
Were you missed to put the iscab files in 2010 release?
I need to use iscab.exe in my batch build process, please provide the file.
Hi Donnie, did you try copying the iscab.exe and iscab.exe.manifest from IS2009 SP2 to IS2010 standalone build (system) folder? It appears to work well.
A bit offtopic but I found that under InstallShield 2011 this is finally broken. Previously you could use iscab from previous version and copy to 2010. But with 2011, you can do a "-l" (list) but cannot do a "-a" (update). Any alternative to modify cab files on the fly?
