SUMMARY
According to the Microsoft SDK for Java 3.1 documentation, specifically under "Microsoft SDK for Java 3.1...Programmer's Guide...Tools Reference...Software Distribution Tools...Using Cabarc", you should be able to use the @file option with the cabarc utility as follows: cabarc n CabName.cab @file FileName.txt where FileName.txt contains a list of files to be added to the cab.

However, the following error message appears when you do this:

Error reading list of files from 'file'



MORE INFORMATION
Instead, use the following: cabarc n CabName.cab @FileName.txt
