There are two formats of .cab files. One is the standard Microsoft's cab format and these files can be extract by many tools such as 7-zip, winzip, ..., even new Windows Explorer. Another format is "Install Shield" format and these files usually be named as data1.cab, data2.cab .. These files can't be extracted by normal utilities.
SynCE project release a tool 'unshield' under unix environment to extract it. Under Win32 platform, I found a freeware 'i6comp' could extract the InstallShield format.
Good Luck.
