  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.
