BC Just A Question Stood Up

WHY ONLY "Cab" Format , Means There Are Thousands Of Formats Out There
But Nearly 90% Microsoft Setup Are In "Cab's" [Ex:Direct X ,PC Games]its about how to create .exe files...
if you are compiling a program in c using turbo c then:
ctrl+f9 = compile and f9 = creates .exe for ur program
and working with visual studio it provides the options to create build package...
