Original Pull Request: https://github.com/SabreTools/BinaryObjectScanner/pull/374

State: closed
Merged: Yes


Installshield .hdr+.cab archives were not being extracted by BOS when relative paths were provided. Let me know if this is an improper fix- I tried to look for similar functions in other extractors, but as far as I can tell, nothing else is written exactly like this bit.

Apologies for closing and re-opening the pull request, but since this is a problem that affects no other part of BOS and is unique to this specific part of ISCAB due to nothing else working like it, I had assumed i was fine to just commit directly to master and it would be a quick merge. It's understandable that this might need further investigation, but I need to make other PRs and I don't want to destroy my own git history, so I had to move my commits to a different branch and roll back master after the fact.
