Is it possible to create cab files using Final Builder? If so how?

Hi Bern,  
  
The buildin Create Archive action can only create Zip, 7z, Gzip, Bzip2, and Tar files - so you’re out of luck. Maybe there’s a free or cheap 3rd party tool that you could call from the Execute Program action that can create Cab files (a quick google showed up quite a few hits for programs that create cab files). I’ll put it on the todo list to investigate adding this functionality to Automise and FinalBuilder.
