Does anyone know how to make a .ddf file for makecab? I'm planning on redoing my option pack with the hotfixes directly integrated into the install of the program. I need to know how to do this so I can repackage internet explorer.

Here is one of my old DDE files for a Ghost/Emergency Recovery boot disk I still use. They are just text files.

Here you can find makecab.doc - rather old, but I think there were not many changes:
