I just read this on https://yieldreturnpost.wordpress.com/2016/06/22/free-tool-to-create-cab-file-from-folder

CabMaker is available out on GitHub. You can download the released version (zip file which contains the compiled EXE) or edit the source code and compile yourself if you wish.

I downloaded it and extracted it but there is no .exe file. How do I complile the files that are there. untitled

Thanks. Stuart.

It looks like you downloaded the source code (which GitHub also provides as a .zip file) and not the .zip file I created with the EXE.

From the CabMaker project page, look for the 4 links that appear above the code. The links are for commits, branches, releases, and contributors. Click the one that says "3 releases."

In the latest release (CabMaker 1.2), you'll see three files listed. Two say "source code" (GitHub creates those automatically), and one says CabMaker-1.2.zip. Download CabMaker-1.2.zip. The EXE file is in there.

If you want to download and compile the source code yourself, you'll need Visual Studio for that. Microsoft provides a free "community edition" which you can download here.
