    Expanding on @John 's comment, CAB files are a proprietary archive format used by Microsoft. They fill the same role as ZIP, ARJ, ZOO, 7Z etc. files, in that they (a) can contain multiple files in one CAB, and (b) compress the payload. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabinet_(file_format) Commented Aug 9, 2022 at 0:59
