    Ironically enough, it is for the Realtek driver. That explains it then. At least I know I don’t have something else to fix on my to-do list

    As always, thank you sincerely for all the time and work you put in here :)

    CAB file - Add Install to Context Menu in Windows 10-cab.jpg

    Above is integration tab from WinRAR. Install from context will not appear unless Cab is unticked.

    very trustworthy and comprehensible tutorial, however the install was added to the cab file context menu on my system (Windows 10). The cab file is executed but exit with an error:

    An error occurred trying to open - C:\...\4190_6e0f85bb67d0038a6406fc71b777a1906a87888c.cab Error: 0x80070002
    Error: 2
    The system cannot find the file specified.
    I am wondering if this has anything to do with the "HasLUAShield"="" that was added because the key "HasLUAShield" is empty. What is "=" part for?
    Also I tried the other 2 methods: cp and ps and they consistently and successfully fail every time with the same error.
    I extracted the cab file and it looks like does not have a .setup.bat or any executable. Could be this missing file (setup) the error I got from DSIM and not the actually cab file?

    Thanks a lot! Great job!

    Hello Brad, and welcome to Ten Forums.

    The "HasLUAShield"="" registry entry is for adding the UAC shield overlay on the icon of this context menu item.

    What is this .cab file for?

    the .cab is actually an update for an old printer. Initially, I thought the .cab will install the printer's drivers for Windows 10 but later when I extracted the .cab and it was no executables in it I realized that would be a good reason why DSIM "can't find file errors" while the .cab is listed (with DIR). I do not know if this makes any sense? I could not find drivers for my old printer discontinued since 2010 and I thought that would be an option to have it installed on my W10 machine instead of net sharing.

    I think that was a misspelled UAC instead of LUA shield, however, my HasLUAShield value field is empty as you can see below, and I am not sure where the "=" is suppose to go or what is for. I can add a string value "HasLUAShield" for the RunAs key as well but without "=" and is an empty field the same as the "HasLUAShield"="". I just can't see the difference in why it needs "=" part? Great work team!

    @Brink, Do you know if this works in Windows 11? I keep getting a error: 2 The system cannot find the file specified.

    Hey mate,

    I haven't tested in Windows 11 yet to confirm, but it should.

    What is the CAB file for? Could possibly be a corrupted or incomplete CAB file.

    One is a driver update for my Realtek sound card. The other is a Realtek component update. The files are from the second post in the Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver thread. I managed to get the driver installed by extracting the files and pointing Device Manager to the folder. I'm not sure how to do the component update. On a plus side I did get the Nehimic equalizer working.

    Ah, that would be why then. You would need to use the method below for Realtek instead.
