Bob's suggestion of removing the @Cabinet or @EmbedCab attributes to create "loose files" would work but then every installation file would have to be taken from this "loose file structure". However, I want a hybrid solution where some of source installation files are taken from a CAB file and others are taken from the source location as "loose files". Is that possible?
