Tips: Prevent CAb files to "Self destruct"

Cab files always self-destruct after installation, that’s a fact and can be inconvenient sometimes. There is a way to fix that and the solution is quite simple but will require Windows Explorer-like software. The built-in Windows Explorer doesn’t let you alter file properties. Once you have your explorer software installed, like Total Commander, select the Cab file and tap Properties from the menu and apply the Read-Only option. Now you can be sure that you will have the file handy for any reinstallation.
