Comments in the file begin with a semi-colon .OPTION lines tell the MAKECAB utility what options to use when building the CAB archive .Set lines tell the MAKECAB utility what values to apply to certain parameters that are used when building the CAB archive Make sure the CabinetNameTemplate parameter is set to what the name of the WSP file will be (in the example above the MAKECAB utility will generate a CAB archive named my.wsp ) Each content file to be added to the CAB archive is listed on a line in a space separated source-destination format For example, this CAB archive will contain an HTML file ( my.html ); the last line in the example above tells the MAKECAB utility to grab the my.html file from the file system (the source location) and place copy it to LAYOUTS/mysample/my.html in the CAB archive (the destination location) Double quotes can be used to define sources that co

I always keep STSADM in path, because it very useful. You can also create a shortcut for command prompt configured for STSADM. For Sharepoint 2007 Usually STSADM.exe exist in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\BIN\. For Sharepoint 2010 Usually STSADM.exe exist in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN\ Click on ‘Start’ Right Click on ‘Computer’ and select Properties Select ‘Advanced System Settings’ Click on the ‘Environment Variables…’ Now select the ‘Path’ from system variables Click Edit Their will be already may be some path available you just append this new path first add ;(semicolon) then your path of BIN folder (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN\ ) where stsadm.exe will be. Add this path (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN) in existing path seprated by ‘;’ Thats all, now you can use STSADM from anywherein command prompt.
