I am currently trying to modify one file in a .cab file and then rebuild .cab file using 'makecab.exe' with all the files including the changed one. Following is the .ddf file, I am using.

.Set CabinetNameTemplate=Documents.CAB

.Set Cabinet=on

.Set Compress=on

"00000000.000"

"10000000.000"

"20000000.000"

"30000000.000"

"40000000.000"

"manifest.xml"

The problem is that three files are generated stored in disk1,disk2 and disk3 folders. The files are trimmed to <1424kb. I want a single cab file. I have tried setting the threshold and size variables.

  • What is your goal? Do you want to edit contents of a.wsp sharepoint package? Unpack .wsp (.cab) and create new modified .wsp (.cab)? – Greg Oct 07 '13 at 14:41
  • Its the .stp file. The goal is to export a document library from 2007 farm to 2010 farm. This requires modification of manifest.xml file. The technique works for lists. But for document libraries (with more files) when I try to build the cab file, its split into three files. – shreyas.ganta Oct 07 '13 at 15:10
  • AFAIK makecab.exe can create cab files <2GB, you can try different tool for cab creation. – Greg Oct 08 '13 at 07:37
  • The total size of cab was 4KB that I wanted to rebuild. I want to it in the same form and not three pieces of 1KB. – shreyas.ganta Oct 08 '13 at 14:38

I encountered same problem today and luckily I found solution in Microsoft page. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb417343.aspx#microsoftmakecabusersguide)

You can add maxdisksize option in .ddf file and it will work!

.Set MaxDiskSize=CDROM
