I'm trying to compile a program which uses cabarc.exe, but I don't have cabarc.exe. The problem is that the Microsoft Cabinet SDK is no longer available so I can't get it from there either.

Where can I get this file?

P.S. I'm looking for a download from a trusted source such as microsoft.com

It appears that the cabarc.exe utility has been replaced with makecab.exe, which comes with Windows [source].

It should be located in:

  • C:\WINDOWS\system32

The cabarc documentation can be found here.

The makecab documentation can be found here.
