Building on Carol's advice, CAB files are like zip files, containing a set of Windows
system files in compressed form. During install, the required files are extracted
from the CAB files. Subsequently, if a Windows file is corrupted or lost, you can
replace it using sfc (go to Start, Run enter sfc, click OK and use the wizard).
sfc will identify the corrupt/missing files and extract them from the appropriate
CAB file. Or you can do it yourself using the extract command in a DOS window.
