Where can I get the cabarc utility?

Question

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

Answer 1

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.
