The .cab filename extension is also used by other installer programs
(e.g. InstallShield) for their own proprietary archiving formats.
InstallShield uses zlib for compression (see Deflate), but their headers
are not the same as for Microsoft CAB files so they are incompatible and
cannot be manipulated or edited with the programs that are made for
standard cabinet format. Specialized third-party utilities, such as
Unshield, can extract this specific proprietary format.[18] This format
has a different magic number of ISC(.[19]
