VB6 and Cabinet.dll. how it work

I'm trying to create cabinet file in Visual Basic 6.
I got the Cabinet.dll, but i did not find any reference on how I could make it work with vb6. (Found some on .NET, but it's an old project where I have to add this feature, so I really need some VB6 references)

I found this question, but the link provided is broken.

It refers to API call. But it will be easier I could have a .bas to do the interface or just some guideline on how to create those API calls.

I need it programatically access the Cabinet.dll file though API call, or something like that.

First link is about manually creating a cab file from the install wizard. This is Irrelevant.
Second link i more relevant, but all link seem to be broken (again). Nice try.
Also please note that i dont want to do ti from a shell comand. I know how to do that. I need to use the Cabinet.dll file.
