This article was previously published under Q315498 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:
*** Code Download Log entry (27 Dec 2001 @ 17:35:57) ***
Code Download Error: (hr = 80070002) The system cannot find the file specified.

WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, do not place more than 78 files in the [Add.Code] section of an .inf file.
STATUSThis behavior is by design.
