Hi, Some body help please! I've downloaded this program and when I want to open .Cap files I get an error that says

Cabinet file does not have the correct format

please help...

[Jan Rysavy]

Do you have any idea what the .CAP file format is?

.cap? Did you mean .cab?
In case you meant .cab, are you speaking about a Microsoft Cabinet archive file or some other file (When you open it in the internal viewer MS .cab archives have the four characters MSCF at the start of the file). Are you sure the file is not corrupt? Is there any other program that processes the file correctly in the way you expect?

PS: Please use a subject line that is relevant to the subject of a thread you start

> or some other file

Ah, that's right.
Something like an InstallShield installer may use ".CAB" files, but they are not MS "Cabinet" files. Those particular files will start with "ISc".

Thanks a lot for help, is here any way to open a .Cab file that isn't Microsoft Cabinet file ?

And I should say that .Cab file that I'm trying to open is from a Setup files!
this setup file is for a game

Try using the Setup program it comes with. If you don't want to "pollute" your system with installation you might want to do it on a virtual machine or utilizing an application virtualization solution such as for instance Symantec Workspace Virtualization.

You may also try your luck with Universal Extractor or maybe just one of it's components as referenced in the Credits section of the linked page.
