Hi all:

I am trying to create a cab file for my ATL controls.
According to the documentation on MSDN, I need to use the
cabarc utility to create the cab file. I tried the following:

cabarc -s 6144 test.cab pkg1.dll atl.dll pkg1.inf

But I get this error:
Unknown command e

I tried changing the order of files, moving all kinds of stuff around,
but I -always- get the same error.

I built the inf file according to the documentation like so:
---------------------------------------------
[version]
; version signature (same for both NT and Win95) do not remove
signature="$CHICAGO$"
AdvancedINF=2.0

[Add.Code]
pkg1.dll=pkg1.dll
atl.dll=atl.dll

; needed DLL
[atl.dll]
file-win32-x86=thiscab
FileVersion=2,00,0,7024
DestDir=11
RegisterServer=yes

[pkg1.dll]
file-win32-x86=thiscab
clsid={8B823773-0EF0-11D4-A1EF-00508BA3916C}
FileVersion=1,0,0,1
RegisterServer=yes
; end of INF file
---------------------------------------------
If anyone can offer any assistance, I would be really grateful.
This is getting really frustrating.
:-(
Thanks very much.

Never mind, I am now a certifiable moron. Just thought
I'd share that with the rest of you.
:-)

I was missing an "n" in the command, like in
cabarc-s 6144 n test.cab blahblah.dll.

I just wish I'd discovered that a few minutes ago, so I
wouldn't have had to share my stooopidity with the world.
Sigh.

Like everyone here is perfect -- I mean like when I stood up in front
of the management group and told them that the project was late
because of compiler bugs.........
