Do you have another windows box available and are the install files
of the *.cab type? I ask as I came across two possibilities:
1) there may be an extract.exe on the install cd as well. I saw some
online notes saying this utility can be used to get individual files
from the .cab's
2) the winzip utility can open M$'s .cab's as well as .zip's. If you
don't already have it, it is an easy download.
