SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to view the contents of a Windows 98 cabinet file by
double-clicking it, the cabinet file may appear to be empty.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you are attempting to view the contents of the
Win98_24.cab or Win98_25.cab cabinet file. These files contain the
Wavetop.cab cabinet file. The Wavetop.cab cabinet file is located in the
Win98_23.cab, Win98_24.cab and Win98_25.cab cabinet files. The header
information for the Wavetop.cab cabinet file is stored only in the
Win98_23.cab cabinet file. Therefore, no files are displayed when you
attempt to view the contents of the Win98_24.cab or Win98_25.cab cabinet
file.
MORE INFORMATION
If you extract the Wavetop.cab cabinet file from the Win98_23.cab cabinet
file, the remainder of the Wavetop.cab cabinet file is extracted from the
Win98_24.cab and Win98_25.cab cabinet files automatically.
