You can't directly install a CAB file in Windows 10. CAB files are compressed archives containing files and folders, similar to ZIP files. They are often used by Windows to distribute updates and drivers.
To use the contents of a CAB file, you need to extract them first. Here's how:
- Find the CAB file: Locate the CAB file on your computer.
- Extract the contents: Use a file archiver like 7-Zip or WinRAR to extract the files from the CAB file.
- Install the extracted files: Depending on the contents of the CAB file, you may need to manually install the extracted files. For example, if the CAB file contains a driver, you would need to navigate to the extracted driver folder and run the setup file.
Example:
If you have a CAB file containing a printer driver, you can extract it using 7-Zip and then run the setup file from the extracted folder to install the driver.
Note: Installing files from an unknown source can be risky. Make sure you trust the source of the CAB file before extracting and installing its contents.
