Hey guys!!!
I have a game it has 8 .cab(all data compressed in it).
and a setup.exe file.
Now problem is this, while installing game (after 38%), it gave me error some .dll is missing. :cry:

So I decided to extract .cab file manually ....But I can't open it neither in window explorer nor with 7zip..
It give me error "Cannot open the cabnet file" :-?

Now plz help me....

Download that dll file and put it in destination folder before installing. Not sure but Try!!

Btw what is that dll. Directx file??

Did you try winrar, I remember it supports it or try Power Zip

You said, while installing the game, you get a .dll error.

Two possibilities,
1. One (or more) cab files are corrupt. Check the sources.
2. Some files in your system is missing. Try to install any softwares which are acting as dependencies for the game. (check requirement for the game). I mean, like .Net framework, DirectX etc...
