Sorry, it does not support ADS. The Windows native Cabinet API (CABINET.DLL, documented at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb432569.aspx) that it relies on does not have any mention of ADS. I honestly have not investigated it very much since ADS inside cabinets is so extremely rare. It might be feasible to add support, but if it is it would also depend on a .NET library for NTFS alternate data streams, and I'd rather not add such a dependency.

Does the compression library support decompressing alternate data streams (ADS) in cab file and if so, which method should be used? Currently using CabInfo.UnpackFileSet but which successfully unpacks normal files but not ADS files. I scanned the documentation and didn't find anything pertaining to ADS. cabarc L fulldump.cab Microsoft (R) Cabinet Tool - Version 5.2.3668.0 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.
