Default Installing a CAB file

Extracting the Contents of a CAB File
In order to extract what is in a cabinet file, you must use the Extract
utility. Extract.Exe can be found in your Windows folder or on your Windows
95, Windows 98, Windows NT, or Windows 2000 installation CD-ROM.

Extract.Exe is a command-line utility; therefore it is used from an MS-DOS
command prompt. To extract the files within a cabinet file, be sure the
Extract.Exe utility is in the MS-DOS Path or copy the Extract utility to the
same folder as the cabinet file.

From the MS-DOS command prompt, you can run the following command to extract
all of the files in a CAB file into the current directory:
Extract ActiveX.CAB *.*

where "ActiveX.CAB" is the name of your cabinet file.

For more information on using the Extract.Exe utility, you may type the
following command at an MS-DOS command prompt:
Extract /?

Already tried it but all in vain.
Is there any other way?

Right mouse click on the *.inf and Install. Both the INF and OCX has to

be in the same folder
