I just finished reading the addon guide and I'm about to make a cab out of them. I would prefer to use Windows' built-in makecab instead of a 3rd party program, but I can't figure out the command line to include the SVPACK folder.

I tried:

makecab entries_dvddec.ini + svcpack dvdd.cab

but it didn't work...SVCPACK is the problem.

Also does it matter if I rename the ini file? e.g. ENTRIES_01.ini

Thanks.

Edit: BTW, does the install file in SVCPACK has to follow the 8.3 naming rule?

I could be wrong but I don't think the + will work. I found this quote on a microsoft support site:

Quote

Makecab.exe packages the file listed into a .cab for distribution. If the .cab file does not exist it will be created. When used with the preceding syntax, files must be added to a .cab file one at a time. With the use of a .ddf file, archive options and multiple files can be added to a .cab file at the same time.


The preceding syntax comment in this quote refers to what you'd see if you typed makecab /? at a command prompt. The last sentence leads me to believe that you have to use another method to add multiple files.

Call me on this if I'm wrong about the + to add multiple files... :yes:
