SYMPTOMS

Internet Explorer may not process .inf files that are located in a .cab file if the number of files in the [Add.Code] section of the .inf file is more than 78 files. This issue typically prevents installing an ActiveX control that is packaged in a .cab file.

When this problem occurs, the Internet Code Download log contains the following information:
