Question: How to install .cab file? It is just a compressed archive file containing files inside it. It cannot be executed directly. We can extract the contents from the .cab file but how to install it?
Answer: We can use the build in pkgmgr.exe (Windows Package Manager) to install the .cab file.
Steps: Open an elevated command prompt and run the following command to install the Cabinet file.
start /w Pkgmgr /ip /m:c:\temp\Windows6.0-KB92xxx-x86.cab /quiet
or
Pkgmgr /ip /m:c:\test.cab /quiet
Pkgmgr /? will show the complete list of commands that can be used. Screenshot below.
You can also take log file for the Installation and Uninstallation using the /l parameter at the end of the command.
