Hi,

How do I expand a single file from a .cab, in this case driver.cab?

command line would be:

expand -r DRIVER.CAB -f:hid.dll .

What is the WinBuilder equivalent?

Hi niche99,

youe can use the ShellExecute command .This is it's syntax:

ShellExecute,Hide,"Filename","Parameters"

So your command will look like :

ShellExecute,Hide,"expand","-r DRIVER.CAB -f:hid.dll "

As usually driver.cab has a path, you should not forget to include it in quotes.
This avoids long sessions searching the error.

ShellExecute,Hide,&#34;expand&#34;,&#34;-r #$q<path with spaces>\DRIVER.CAB#$q -f&#58;hid.dll &#34;

Hi,

What a friendly helpful bunch of people.

I am working on a way to add support for USB input devices (mice esp.). Idea is to use Paragliders hardware detection plugin and input.inf from an XP source. Has anyone tried this? Should I not bother as I may be barking up the wrong tree?

Thanks again for the useful replies.

Draugen was trying to create a script back in the Batcher days for this but I dont remember if he finished it. He did create one that wil recognize USB Mass Storage Devices I think. If you succeed, then there will be alot of appreciative people. Many of the new PCs dont recognise anything else other then USB. So if you create a Script that will recognize USB devices it will increase the compatablility even more.

If you could create a working USB input script that would be VERY nice. And i never got aroud to finishing any of the USB scripts i wrote. There is a working USB mass storage script somwhere IIRC.
