Is there a program or Quick BMS script that can read and extract .CAB files? To summarize, I need something that can extract data from .CAB files of a free online game that I'm currently playing. Does anyone have some answers? If so, I'd be happy to hear them.

You must specify EVER the name of the game

It's actually this game: Shin Sangoku Musou Online Z (?????? Online Z)

Sorry for the long wait, but here's a sample file: link

Thank you very much for me helping me out with this, Aluigi.

Ehmmm that CAB file is an InstallShield file... why don't you install the game?
And why didn't you say since the first post that it was the installer and not a game archive?

It is? Sorry about that, I'm not exactly aware of the differences between those two formats. Well then, here are some small files I took from the game's load data directory: link

Will this sample do? If not, then I'm not sure what else to give you unless it's something very distinct and easy to recognize.

These bin files don't contain a file format (a structure), they are just data of some type.
What I mean is that there is nothing to extract from them in usable form (like normal image formats or audio and so on).
Maybe they are 3d models, in which case it's better if you post in the 3d section.

Does that mean you need something bigger than what I just provided? Perhaps you can help me choose which file sample to upload because there's a lot of them. Here are some screenshots of the game's directory.

Before posting this topic, I tried opening the .CAB files with Universal Extractor and other similar programs like your script for Install Shield, but none of them work so far.

No, it means that the bin files are just data of the game without any specific format.
