  Hello from Germany!
  
  Im new to snappy installer.
  
  Is it possible to add the DELL CAB-Files (set of compressed driver files for each machine)
  instead of unzipping the CAB-file and repack to .7z file?
  
  Here is the link to the CAB file for DELL Latitude 5590 laptop:

  Thx

  I know the 7z gui supports CAB files. What I can’t determine is whether the open source code used by SDIO supports CAB files. I’ve found no reference in the source code and there’s no developer’s documentation that I’ve discovered.
  
  So I guess the answer is no until someone can point me to the 7z code in question.
  
  I imagine it wouldn’t be hard to write a batch file to convert cab files to 7z files.
