You won't find one. There are two incompatible kind of .CAB-extension
files, MsCAB ones from MicroSoft, which you can manage with their
CABview shell extender and others utilities, and IsCAB ones from
InstallShield, which you can manage only with an utility shipped with IS
Professional.

That utility is ISCAB.EXE, but it'll only work on a comp where you have
IS Pro installed too. (Maybe it *could* be possible to transfer it
standalone on another computer, by looking up all its recursive DLL
dependencies for transfering/registering them too, by using RegMon so as
to find which registry key it needs so as to export/reimport them, etc.,
but it'd be a lot of work for a non-guaranteed result...)

Search if you have that ISCAB.EXE in your directories -- maybe it isn't
provided in the eval version? Also note that VNC setup is IS 5.5 Pro, if
you downloaded the current IS 6.x Pro demo there's no guarantee that it
can handle 5.5 IsCAB files too...

Else, you last chance would be to find some folk who has IS 5.5 pro at
hand [sorry, not my case] and to whom you would email the VNC setup
archive and the new copy of the file you want him to update for you
inside it...

Note that updating a file inside an IS distribution doesn't change just
one .CAB but a lot of other files too, so it's safest to unzip the whole
WinVNC archive, change it with ISCAB, then re-create a whole new .ZIP
archive with everything.
