We had a major storm through here recently and we suffered damage to the house roof and ceilings. I just received the quote to repair. I’m hoping that a small fraction of the 80,000 odd people that download SDIO and/or Desktop Info every month won’t mind chipping in a few dollars to help out.

Driver packs in .CAB format?

Hi...

Thanks for SDIO....great tool.

Just wondering if in the future the developers might consider adding an option/feature to be able to read driverpacks from .CAB format files?

All of our PCs/laptops are almost all Dell, and I download model specific .CAB driverpack files via the Dell Driver Pack Catalog (see https://www.dell.com/support/article/en-ie/how14097/driver-pack-catalog?lang=en). Right now, to make these work with SDIO, I unpack the CAB files and re-pack as .7z files.

It would be really handy if SDIO could read (and also re-index) .CAB files directly....

Thanks in advance.

Thanks.

There's a bunch of reasons why SDIO won't be able to use anything other than 7-zip. Not least that it would take me months to figure out the code. I'm sure you could put together a batch file to automate the task in about 10 minutes.
