[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]
The EnhCab object, included in IPEnhSnd.dll, provides cabinet file utility methods. Your application can call the methods of EnhCab to create, add files to, and enumerate cabinet files. Because cabinet files are compressed, packaging enhancement files into a cabinet file can result in more efficient transmission.
To locate additional information about cabinet files, see Further Information on Data Services for the Client.
