Nor you, by the looks of it.
For obvious reasons files from SP2 will be different in size from their SP1
predecessors. (DUH)
As for 'going to DOS' to get a file back out of a CAB file is no longer
needed. What's more, depending on the filesystem in use it wouldn't normally
even be possible to write to the target disk.
(So much for the different protocols (?) in XP)
XP handles the OS files in a completely different manner, actually compared
to Win 98 it *handles* them instead of *not*.
Part of that handling is dare I say it?) a protocol called Windows File
Protection (as indicated by other posters), although it is not a protocol as
such but a feature of the OS.
It is automatic and ensures that any system files that get corrupted are
being put back instantly in their uncorrupted form and in their appropriate
location from a cached copy, so from that angle there is no need to go out
and 'extract' anything from a CAB.
Next there is the possibility (feature) where the user might want to check
the OS files to be the correct version and that can be done using System
File Checker, also already indicated by previous posts. This will work from
a single CD with all the relevant OS files on there, be it in cabinet files
or not. It doesn't handle 2 cd's with parts of the os spread accross them
(XP-SP1 on 1 and just SP2 on the other)
Stands to reason, because there is only 1 SourcePath, ie. the location the
OS is installed from.
So re-reading the previous posts might have given you a clue as to what to
do.
However it was very unfortunate that those posts did not spoon-feed you or
spell out the solution.
So you are right, we don't know what we're doing, but with you here, we're
in good company, don't you think?
Oh yeah, I concur with Phil!!!
Say 'Hi' on the forum for us.
