Dealing with a corrupt File in an application CD
Am trying to install an application from a CD (the software for Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W320/W330 camera). The installation gets stuck on a particular file. PMB.cab. I have tried copying the files to the desktop of my laptop (OS Windows 8.1) but the copying processes get stuck on the same file.
Is there software that might repair this? Normally I would download the Sony Software (the whole program) but I am in a situation her in Africa where I have poor internet and my allowance for downloads is very small (the program in question requires 340MB which is nearly my limit for a week here).

Thank you. The problem re finding the photographs on my laptop is solved. My stupidity. When connecting the camera to the laptop a new drive labeled PMBPortable appeared. I opened this drive to search for the photos, but could not find them. The contents seemed to be all 'application' files. I have now noticed that two other drives show up, simply marked 'Removable Drive G' and 'Removable Drive H'. I did not see these, and when I did I could not see how they were connected to the camera. However I clicked on one of them and a folder DCIM appeared. I clicked on this and lo and behold there were the photographs - all 200 of them. thanks for the help and sorry for the confusion.
However my original question re: extracting a file from a CD (non-working) is not solved. No problem. I will get another or can download the application from the Sony Website.

Well I did say that in my comment>This camera is plug n play, connect it to computer, Windows will install required drivers automatically and you can transfer pictures in computer. http:#a40508858
All cameras pretty much do this they create the removable drive.
Good to see you can now get your photos off.
You should read the manuals as you have them now as well

Result: It says the transfer was 100% and that it copied 1 file.
I also see there was 1 'Corrupt file'. It tells me the number of bytes copied (72.01 MB)
I am not sure what to do next? It says it has copied the file to: C:\Users\me\Desktop\New folder. But I cant see it. In the New Folder is the Zip File PMB.cab (on which I ran copy on Roadkil)
