It seems quite a few people having the problem with .cab files under XP. I hit the
similar problem recently when trying installing some software consisting of .cab
files. The installation program(InstallShield) throws up a "Error 1335：data1.cab
is corrupt ..." and exits unsuccessfully.
If you have the same problem, do the following: 1. check what program is currently
associated with .cab files (by creating a dummy cab file, for example); 2. open that
program and de-select its association with .cab.
This should restore original XP built-in program to opening the cab files.
What's happened here is 3rd party zip/unzip programs (WinRAR for example) pop up
those sales windows during installation, invisible to you but stop the installation
from continuing and make it exit with "error 1335..." which doesn't really tell you
the underlying cause and what to do next .
