SharePoint: "Failed to extract the cab file in the solution"
I’m receiving a «Failed to extract the cab file in the solution» error when I try to deploy my wsp using stsadm -o addsolution -filename.
I’ve open the wsp as a cab and checked that there are no duplicate files in there as I understand that can sometimes cause this issue.
The issue only started when I tried to include a custom field type as part of my solution, to do this I added the following to the ddf
to the manifest.
I’ve tried taking it back to just references to the ascx in both but it doesn’t see to help.
Failed to extract cab что это
I ran into an odd issue today while deploying a SharePoint solution via Visual Studio 2013 to a test SharePoint instance today:
The only change made prior to deployment was the addition of a new image file to the Style Library folder. Seems like a fairly simple, non-deployment-killing change, right?
It’s never that simple.
After some digging, I realized the image file name had an ‘@’ symbol in it:
Removing the symbol fixed the problem. Incidentally, Visual Studio will warn you when your files have invalid characters, but not when pasting a file into the folder. Only when creating a new file with the ‘@’ in the name will it warn you that it’s not allowed.
In doing some research, I also found parenthesis are not allowed. See this blog post.
Are there any other file name characters not allowed within the CAB file? Comment up!

Same issue, any solutions?
Had the same issue, traced it back that cabextract is somehow not able to extract it in the temporary folder, with the -d switch.
I resolved that (by cd’ing into the temp directory), but then it failed at a later stage.
Must be cabextract related as it has a new version since 05/02/2023? https://www.cabextract.org.uk/
So maybe downstep that package?
I have had the same problem. Downgrading the cabextract version to 1.9 works.

If you’re using latest brew you can’t install from github direct to downgrade — have to use brew extract to local ‘tap’. I used this resource —
My cli here worked, then I could use uup-macosinstaller for Win ISO.
brew tap-new $USER/local-cabextract
brew extract —version=1.9.1 cabextract $USER/local-cabextract
brew install cabextract@1.9.1
Dears,
Thanks to [alroldan] & cawhite6. I downgraded to 1.9.1, & it works.
I already had cabextract installed based on earlier steps in the instructions provided and needed to remove it:
brew remove cabextract
I had already followed the steps @cawhite6 has posted but got an error that 1.9.1 was already installed but not linked. I fixed that by following the suggested command:
brew link cabextract@1.9.1
Hope this helps anyone else.
Can confirm that @ammar-faifi solution works, just add -k to extractcab in convert.sh at line 426
hmm, tried that, but when it resumes the download process, it just edits the file back to -d and fails at extracting one of the cabs again.
update see the fix from @ammar-faifi .
