Can someone PLS recommend to me an easy to use CAB creation utility.

I have tried these three and none meet my needs:
Makecab (command line which is too complex for me)
QuickCab (looks real promising but the build process is not working for me in Vista)
PPC Installation creator by Aperitto (Worked for me in the past, but is now chopping up my PNG image files so what gets placed in the CAB is a corrupted PNG file.)

I am not making an application. I just want to be able to use it to place several image and xml files in different folders on a Diamond to modify skins and the TF3D/Manila interface. Also perhaps slight mods to registry.

Is there something else out there that I can use to make a CAB file containing these sort of things. I know that this terribly amateur hour compared to what all you Developers and Chefs do. So I'd appreciate any recommendations of easy to use tools to do this. Thnx..

Tried it too and at present it is not working either. So I need something other than these four:

Makecab (command line which is too complex for me)
QuickCab (looks real promising but the build process is not working for me in Vista)
PPC Installation creator by Aperitto (Worked for me in the past, but is now chopping up my PNG image files so what gets placed in the CAB is a corrupted PNG file.)
Install Builder 0.7 (Cabs will not install to my Diamond)

Any others out there?

Try this one: Win CE Cab Manager

it's not free but you have a 30 days trial, and seems to work with my Kaiser with latest 6.1 cooked rom.

Thanks will take a look at the trial. But Really $100 for a program to copy 5 files onto a PDA is never going to be viable for me. I just want to be able to distribute 5 small files to mates in way they can automatically install them into WM to two different folders without stuffing it up.
