<h2><a name="about">About the format</a></h2>

<p>
The Windows CE installation cabinet format was designed by Microsoft make
it easy to create packaged software for the Windows CE platform. After
generating all his executable programs, data files, help files and so on,
a developer can then write an "installation script" which lists the name
of the software package, where each file should be installed on the target
device's filesystem, registry entries to make on the target system's
Windows Registry, and so on. A tool called "CabWiz" takes the installation
script and produces a single CAB file with a special control file stored
in it. On the target Windows CE device, a program called
<tt>WCELOAD.EXE</tt> will read cabinet files, install them, register them
as installed packages, set their registry entries, and so on.
</p>

<p>
The Cabinet format was previously developed by Microsoft for creating a
simple archive format for packaged software, from entire operating systems
down to ActiveX Web plugins. They also intended to displace Sun's JAR
format for packaging Java software, but this did not succeed.
</p>

<h2><a name="cab_format">Overall cabinet file format</a></h2>

<p>
Firstly, the overall file format of a Windows CE installation cabinet is
the standard Microsoft Cabinet file format. This was originally documented
in the Microsoft document <tt>CABFMT.DOC</tt> as part of the Microsoft
Cabinet SDK (<tt>CAB-SDK.EXE</tt>), it is now documented in the <a
href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb267310%28VS.85%29.aspx">Windows
Installer documentation</a>.  The format can also be gleaned from open
source tools and libraries such as <a
href="https://www.cabextract.org.uk/">cabextract</a> and <a
href="https://www.cabextract.org.uk/libmspack/">libmspack</a>. Windows CE
installation cabinets typically use no compression (the NONE compression
method in the cabinet specification), sometimes MSZIP compression.
</p>

<h2><a name="cab_contents">Cabinet file contents</a></h2>
<p>
The filenames of the files in the cabinet use the MS-DOS "8.3" convention,
where the first eight characters in the filename come from the "true
filename", and are followed by a period and three numeric digits. The
digits form a decimal number from 000 to 999. The name part before the
period is currently always 8 characters (shorter names are padded on the
left with "0"), but this shouldn't be relied upon. Only the numeric
extension should be used to identify the file. There should not be more
than one file in the cabinet with the same numeric extension. As an
example:
</p>

<table border="1">
<tr><th>Name in cab file</th><th>Original filename</th></tr>
<tr><td><tt>BLKJAC~4.000</tt></td><td>--- (installation data)</td></tr>
<tr><td><tt>BLACKJ~1.999</tt></td><td>Blackjack Setup.dll</td></tr>
<tr><td><tt>SELFRE~1.006</tt></td><td>SelfRegister.dll</td></tr>
<tr><td><tt>0Blkjack.005</tt></td><td>Blkjack.exe</td></tr>
<tr><td><tt>00Sample.004</tt></td><td>Sample.BJL</td></tr>
<tr><td><tt>WINGAM~1.003</tt></td><td>Win Game.wav</td></tr>
<tr><td><tt>LOSEGA~1.002</tt></td><td>Lose Game.wav</td></tr>
<tr><td><tt>BLACKJ~1.001</tt></td><td>Blackjack Help.htp</td></tr>
</table>

<p>
The order of these files within the cab file is important. The first file
in the cabinet should be the ".000" file. It should then be followed by
all other files in descending numerical order of their extensions.
</p>


<p>These original filenames are not recoverable, they are not stored
anywhere. The only names available are the target filenames given in <a
href="#files">the FILES section</a> of <a href="#000_format">the .000
file</a>.</p>

<p>
All installation data is contained in the .000 file. If a .999 file
exists, it is an "application specific Setup.DLL"; a Microsoft standard
Dynamic Link Library that will be loaded and executed after installation
by the installation program. All other files are files for installation on
the Windows CE device, and the three digits should be resolved into an
integer "file number".
</p>

<h2><a name="000_format">Format of the .000 file</a></h2>

<p>
All multi-byte integers are little-endian. Values given in this document
are in decimal, unless otherwise specified. The overall file format of the
.000 file is as follows:
</p>

<ul>
<li><a href="#header">A fixed size header</a> at file offset 0.</li>
<li><a href="#appname">The APPNAME string</a>.</li>
<li><a href="#provider">The PROVIDER string</a>.</li>
<li><a href="#unsupported">The UNSUPPORTED multi string</a>.</li>
<li><a href="#strings">The STRINGS section</a>.</li>
<li><a href="#dirs">The DIRS section</a>.</li>
<li><a href="#files">The FILES section</a>.</li>
<li><a href="#reghives">The REGHIVES section</a>.</li>
<li><a href="#regkeys">The REGKEYS section</a>.</li>
<li><a href="#links">The LINKS section</a>.</li>
</ul>

<p>
Only the fixed size header has a fixed file offset, all other strings and
sections may be at any file offset, in any order. They are typically in
the order given above. Each file offset is given in the fixed size header.
</p>

<h3><a name="header">The fixed size header</a></h3>
<p>
The .000 file begins at file offset 0 with a fixed size header of exactly
100 bytes. The format of this header is as follows:
</p>

<table border="1">
<tr><th>Offset</th><th>Size in bytes</th><th>Description</th></tr>
<tr><td>0</td><td>4</td><td>An ASCII signature, "MSCE". This is 0x4543534D
as a little-endian integer.</td></tr>
<tr><td>4</td><td>4</td><td>Unknown purpose, usually 0.</td></tr>
<tr><td>8</td><td>4</td><td>The overall length of this .000 header file,
in bytes.</td></tr>
<tr><td>12</td><td>4</td><td>Unknown purpose, usually 0.</td></tr>
<tr><td>16</td><td>4</td><td>Unknown purpose, usually 1.</td></tr>
<tr><td>20</td><td>4</td><td>Target architecture for this cabinet: see <a

</table>

<h3><a name="appname">The APPNAME string</a></h3>
<p>
This is a null-terminated ASCII string that gives the name of the packaged
application.
</p>

<h3><a name="provider">The PROVIDER string</a></h3>
<p>
This is a null-terminated ASCII string that gives the name of the author
or publisher of the packaged application.
</p>

<h3><a name="unsupported">The UNSUPPORTED multi string</a></h3>
<p>
If this string has more than zero bytes length according to the fixed size
header, then this is a sequence of consecutive null terminated ASCII
strings.  The sequence always terminates with an empty string. Each string
is the ASCII name of a Windows CE platform where this software is not
supported and will not run. Platforms seen in this sequence include "PALM
PC", "HPC", "JORDAN", "PALM PC2" and "POCKETPC".
</p>

<h3><a name="strings">The STRINGS section</a></h3>
<p>
The STRINGS section is a number of common ASCII strings that may be used
in the installation data. In other sections, strings from the STRINGS
section are referred to by their string ID. The total number of entries in
this section is given in the fixed size header. There is no padding
between string entries. The format of each STRING entry is as follows:
</p>

<ul>
<li>2 bytes: An integer string ID.</li>
<li>2 bytes: The length of the string, including the null terminator byte.</li>
<li>X bytes: the string itself, for the length given above.</li>
</ul>

<p>
As an example, the hexadecimal byte stream <tt>04 00 09 00 53 6F 66 74 77
61 72 65 00</tt> decodes to "ID=4 (04 00), length=9 (09 00),
string=Software". The hexadecimal byte stream <tt>05 00 0A 00 4D 69 63 72
6F 73 6F 66 74 00</tt> decodes to "ID=5 (05 00), length=10 (0A 00),
string=Microsoft".
</p>

<h3><a name="dirs">The DIRS section</a></h3>
<p>
The DIRS section is a list of directory paths used in the installation. In
other sections, paths from the DIRS section are referred to by their
directory ID. The total number of entries in this section is given in the
fixed size header. There is no padding between directory entries.  The
format of each directory entry is as follows:
</p>

<ul>
<li>2 bytes: An integer directory ID.</li>
<li>2 bytes: The length of the following directory specification, in
bytes.</li>
<li>X bytes: A directory specification. This is simply an array of 16-bit
(2 byte) numbers, where each number is a string ID. The final number is
always 0, which terminates the list.</li>
</ul>

<p>
For example, the hexidecimal byte stream <tt>01 00 0A 00 01 00 02 00 03 00
04 00 00</tt> translates "dir ID=1 (01 00), length=10 (0A 00),
specification={1, 2, 3, 4}". Assuming string ID 1 is "foo", string ID 2 is
"bar", string ID 3 is "baz" and string ID 4 is "quux", the specification
translates from {1, 2, 3, 4} to "foo\bar\baz\quux".
</p>

<p>
The directory specification may begin with a path member of the form
"<tt>%CEn%</tt>", where <tt>n</tt> is a decimal integer from 1 to 17. This
is an abbreviation for one of the CE standard directories, as listed in <a
href="#app_b">Appendix B</a>.
</p>


<h3><a name="files">The FILES section</a></h3>
<p>
The FILES section is a list of files to be installed on the target
device. All files in the list should be installed. In other sections,
files from the FILES section are referred to by their file ID. The total
number of entries in this section is given in the fixed size header. There
is no padding between file entries. The format of each file entry is as
follows:
</p>

<ul>
<li>2 bytes: An integer file ID. The file for installation is the file in
the cabinet which has this integer as a three digit file extension.</li>
<li>2 bytes: The directory ID for where this file should be installed.</li>
<li>2 bytes: Unknown purpose, usually the same as the file ID.</li>

<li>4 bytes: File flags. A 32-bit integer. The following bits are known: <br />

<table border="1">
<tr><th>Flag</th><th>Description</th></tr>
<tr><td>Bit 31 (0x80000000)</td><td> If bit is set, this file is a
reference-counting shared file. It is not deleted at uninstall time unless
its reference count is 0.</td></tr>
<tr><td>Bit 30 (0x40000000)</td><td>If bit is set, ignore file date
(stored in the cabinet file) and always overwrite target (on CE
device). Mutually exclusive with bit 29.</td></tr>
<tr><td>Bit 29 (0x20000000)</td><td>If bit is set, do not overwrite target
if target is newer. Mutually exclusive with bit 30.</td></tr>
<tr><td>Bit 28 (0x10000000)</td><td>If bit is set, self-register this
DLL.</td></tr>
<tr><td>Bit 10 (0x00000400)</td><td>If bit is set, do not copy this file
to the target unless the target already exists. Mutually exclusive with

<h3><a name="reghives">The REGHIVES section</a></h3>
<p>
The REGHIVES section is a list of hives in the Windows Registry. These
hives are then used in <a href="#regkeys">the REGKEYS section</a> for
actual registry entries. In other sections, hives from the REGHIVES
section are referred to by their hive ID. The total number of entries in
this section is given in the fixed size header. There is no padding
between hive entries.  The format of each hive entry is as follows:
</p>

<ul>
<li>2 bytes: An integer hive ID.</li>
<li>2 bytes: The hive root, an integer from 1 to 4:
  <ol>
  <li>HKCR: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT</li>
  <li>HKCU: HKEY_CURRENT_USER</li>
  <li>HKLM: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE</li>
  <li>HKU: HKEY_USERS</li>
  </ol>
</li>
<li>2 bytes: Unknown purpose, usually 0.</li>
<li>2 bytes: Length of the registry hive specification to follow, in
bytes.</li>
<li>X bytes: A registry hive specification. This is simply an array of
16-bit (2 byte) numbers, where each number is a string ID. The final
number is always 0, which terminates the list.</li>
</ul>

<h3><a name="regkeys">The REGKEYS section</a></h3>
<p>
The REGKEYS is a list of registry entries -- key / data pairs -- to be
added to the Windows Registry upon installation. All entries in the list
should be added. The total number of entries in this section is given in
the fixed size header. There is no padding between entries.  The format of
each entry is as follows:
</p>

<ul>
<li>2 bytes: An integer key ID.</li>
<li>2 bytes: The hive ID of the hive to store this entry in.</li>
<li>2 bytes: A Boolean value, either 1 if variable substitution should be performed or 0 if not. The entry data should have substrings such as <tt>%InstallDir%</tt> or one the <tt>%CEn%</tt> values.</li>
<li>4 bytes: The type of entry data, and flags. <br />

<table border="1">

All other bits are undefined.
</li>
<li>2 bytes: The length of entry data to follow, in bytes.</li>
<li>X bytes: Registry entry data. This begins with a null terminated ASCII
string, giving the name of the registry key. If the empty string is used
here, this is the default key for the given hive. Immediately following
the null byte of the string is the data for the registry entry, whose
format depends on the entry type given in the flags:

<ul>
<li><tt>TYPE_DWORD</tt>: four bytes, giving a single 32-bit integer.</li>
<li><tt>TYPE_SZ</tt>: a single null terminated ASCII string.</li>
<li><tt>TYPE_MULTI_SZ</tt>: a sequence of consecutive null terminated
ASCII strings. The sequence always terminates with an empty string.</li>
<li><tt>TYPE_BINARY</tt>: no specific format, just raw data.</li>
</ul>
</li>

<h3><a name="links">The LINKS section</a></h3>
<p>
The LINKS section is a list of symbolic links to be made in the standard
installation directories, to link to installed directories or files. The
total number of links in this section is given in the fixed size header.
There is no padding between links.  Each link has the following format:
</p>
<ul>
<li>2 bytes: An integer link ID.</li>
<li>2 bytes: Unknown purpose.</li>
<li>2 bytes: The base directory where the link will be stored, either 0 to
indicate "<tt>%InstallDir%</tt>", the default directory where the
application is installed, or a number from 1 to 17 to indicate
"<tt>%CEn%</tt>", one of the standard installation directories as defined
in <a href="#app_b">Appendix B</a>. The link specification, given below,
should be added to this base directory, to get the full name of the
link.</li>
<li>2 bytes: Integer ID of the file or directory that the link should
point to. It is either a file ID, or a directory ID, depending on the link
type. If it is a directory ID, the ID 0 can be used to refer to
<tt>%InstallDir%</tt>.</li>
<li>2 bytes: The link type. This is 0 if the link target is a directory,
or 1 if the link target is a file.</li>
<li>2 bytes: The length of the link specification in bytes.</li>
<li>X bytes: The link specification. This is simply an array of 16-bit (2
byte) numbers, where each number is a string ID. The final number is
always 0, which terminates the list.</li>
