Reverse Engineering tools
InstallShield Cabinet File (ISCF): A.cab file used by IS. Microsoft Cabinet File (MSCF): A.cab file used by Microsoft. To install a Pocket PC application remotely, an installable Microsoft Cabinet File is copied to the /Windows/AppMgr/Install directory on the PDA and then the wceload.exe is executed to perform the actual install.
Credits should be given to the original up loader.- Windows Installshield Decompiler - Free Download Windows Installshield Decompiler on File. A general, open source. Download the Microsoft ORCA MSI utility if you want to edit the contents of Microsoft Software Installation files.
- Thankyou very much for this Info about CAB archive extraction.Good work!Another cab extracting tool is 'iXComp' which is a bundle of i6Comp.exe and i5Comp.exe and there is a Windows Installshield Decompiler v1.00b (wisd10b.zip).

http://asm.deformed.us - Home of UnderNet #asm, at the moment (read that carefully) they have everything you might ever wan't in the latest versions, as this URL gets better known expect things to get trickier for the files to remain intact, but for now.....
ExeTools - Aaron's home page has everything you might ever need to download, however for most you need to be provided access to the FTP, at the time of checking ftp.txt was a 404, you might need some luck to get access. Since the host is in China, the links might survive for a while.
Links - Try combing/perusing sites I've linked too.
Microsoft Installshield Download
ProTools (Programmers Tools) - Once upon a time, a great tooling site, now more of a news archive of 'latest releases of various protectors' and unpackers, its still worth the visit and Kaparo keeps it very up-to-date, but don't expect to find IDA or SoftICE here.
