Description

Extracts, tests, or lists InstallShield CAB archives so users can recover files from compressed packages. It is useful when older or less common archive formats need to be opened from the terminal.

This is a command-line archive tool. Treat unknown archives as untrusted and extract them into a safe folder before opening contained files, especially because the format is proprietary and often appears in legacy downloads.
