It’s not needed:

$ cabextract -F Disk1/data1.cab h3demo.exe
Extracting cabinet: h3demo.exe
  extracting Disk1/data1.cab

All done, no errors.


Unfortunately the next step fails:

$ unshield x Disk1/data1.cab
Failed to open Disk1/data1.cab as an InstallShield Cabinet File


(with the version of unshield currently in stable.)

Regards,

Stephen
