extract cab file and execute the exe file(inside the cab file) automatically

I have a cab file(w/ an executable file inside) embedded on my webpage. When the user access the page the cab file will be automatically extracted and the executable file inside should be executed as well. Is this possible? My hunch is that this will be configured in my inf file but I don't know how. I would appreciate your help in this.

You need to use the hook&run values, like in this sample

[version]  
signature="$CHICAGO$"  
AdvancedINF=2.0  

[Add.Code]  
time.ocx=time.ocx  
msvcrt.dll=msvcrt.dll    
mfc42.dll=mfc42.dll  
olepro32.dll=olepro32.dll  

[time.ocx]  
file-win32-x86=thiscab  
clsid={DCF0768D-BA7A-101A-B57A-0000C0C3ED5F}  
FileVersion=1,0,0,0  
RegisterServer=yes  

[msvcrt.dll]  
FileVersion=4,20,0,6164  
hook=mfc42installer  

[mfc42.dll]  
FileVersion=4,2,0,6256  
hook=mfc42installer 

[olepro32.dll]  
FileVersion=4,2,0,6068  
hook=mfc42installer

[mfc42installer]  
file-win32-x86=http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vc/mfc42.cab  
run=%EXTRACT_DIR%\mfc42.exe
