your question is not clear. Please let me know how you build the CAB and what is the current process you are following it for web part cab deployment ?
In general, you can use tools like wsp builder to build the solution package for your web part, from the scratch.
Please elaborate what you are looking for.

- A WSP file is a CAB file, just with a different extension and with a certain expectation as to the structure of the files inside.So if you have the files inside the CAB structured properly, including a manifest and the necessary feature.xml files and such, then all you have to do is rename the .CAB to a .WSP.Building the CAB properly, however, can be tricky. I'd recommend using either WSPBuilder or VSeWSS to help out with the process.Tim
