How to Make an ISO Cab
Cabinet files (with the cab extension) contain data used for application installation. If you have developed an application, or created a large package of data, you can choose to run it from a CD. If you plan to burn many copies of this, however, or wish to distribute that CD image online, it is useful to create an ISO file. ISO files are disc images that contain an entire disc's contents. You can create an ISO with a program such as Folder2Iso, MagicISO or PowerISO.
