Downloaded this game, it has a bunch of .cab files in it, and i dont know what do with them. I cant install the game, because i think the install stuff is in the .cab files.

Any help would be great. The game is fuel of war by razor.

thanks

Hope this helps.

A cabinet (.cab) file is a library of compressed files stored as a single file. Cabinet files are used to organize installation files that are copied to the user's system. A large compressed file can be spread over several .cab files.

If you're using Windows XP or Windows Vista, then your operating system has built-in support for opening Cab files. They are described as "Cabinet files." Just double-click on a Cab file and it will open in Explorer, just like a folder. However, if you right-click on items in a cabinet file, you won't see all the same options you'd see for a file in a normal folder. This shows that it is not a real folder.

If you're using Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT or Windows 2000 then you'll need an archive manager application to open Cab files. If you use Windows XP or Windows Vista, you'll still need an archive manager if you want to be able to create Cab file archives.
BitZipper

ss If you want to open or create with Cab files, Tech-Pro.net recommends BitZipper. It's a very versatile, yet easy to use archive manager. It can open Zip files, Cab files, Rar files and 17 other popular compressed and encoded file formats. It can create archives using most of these formats too, plus it's a fast and flexible backup tool.

BitZipper has a Wizard interface for novice users with no experience of working with compressed files, and a Classic interface (shown right) for more experienced users. BitZipper is a solid and stable application that can handle the largest Cab archives without crashing.
