GOAL:
How to view the contents of a Prowcapc file.
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1C
FIX:
The ProwcApp file contains the necessary information for an end-user to properly download and execute the WebClient application. Beginning with Progress 9.1C, the ProwcApp file is built in a compressed file format. The new file is a CAB file called prowcapc.
Cabarc.exe is a CAB file manipulation utility. Cabarc.exe can extract files and list the contents of a .cab file. Cabarc.exe does not allow adding additional files to an already existing .cab file.
Cabarc.exe is available with the CAB Software Development Kit (SDK), which is currently (6/26/01) available at the following location:
http://www.microsoft.com/workshop/management/cab/cabdl.asp
Copy the file into the System.
To view the contents of a .cab file with Cabarc.exe, follow these steps:
1) Open an MS-DOS Command Prompt.
2) Navigate to the folder containing the .cab file that has the
desired information.
3) Run the following command from the Command prompt. It will
unpack the prowcapc file, creating the ProwcApp file, which
can be viewed with any text editor.
CABARC.EXE X sportspro.prowcapc
NOTE: sportspro.prowcapc holds the content you want to browse.
Application CAB files built using the Web client Application Assembler can also be viewed using CABARC.EXE. Run the following command from the Command prompt. It will list the contents of the CAB file.
CABARC.EXE L filename.cab
