This looks like a situation where capture might be of help. If you don’t have a capture tool, then InCtrl5 can be downloaded from the net, and there are others such as WinInstall LE on the Win2K operating system install CD.
This will help identify where the files go and what registration operations take place.

I found the first sentence of the MS article to be of most use…LOL

If you have no choice but use this archaic format, you could try lashing up an HTML page as per the examples shown, start a capture and open the page in IE. However, I think there should also be an INF file to go with the CAB…

A Windows installer package that has external CAB files that is installed from a folder with characters not in the current operating system locale. The installation may fail with an error similar to this:

MSI (s) (9C:E0) [10:20:57:951]: Product: Sample Application — Error 1311. Source file not found(cabinet): C:\??????? ??????\Test\locale.cab. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.

Resolution

You must set the system locale for the operating system to match the path that you are installing the Windows Installer package from.\
