I'm trying to recompile Precopy1.cab after modding a file in it in Chicago Build 501, but it keeps stopping before it gets to the first dialog, it starts doing the "LOading Setup" then says "Setup cannot continue". Does anyone have an idea of whats wrong?

In almost every CAB there is a fraction of a file and the other part of it is in the previous/next CAB.
Use freeware ArcPeek to list files in CABs!

I suspect this file (or this spanned archive ?) is checksumed and setup won't run if its checksum is not correct.

Also I had tried to use a windows 98 tool (System File Checker) on Windows ME and it would not open the Win ME cabs so that there are also possibly issues with exactly which exact algorithm (compression level, version) is used to compress.

PS : I have been able to use to use SFC with cabs I had made with IzArc.

You could more simply add your moded files in a post-setup step using an inf file and wininit.
