wceload.exe is the program associated with cab files. You can probably use
a P/Invoke of CreateProcess() or ShellExecuteEx() to launch it with the full
path to the cab file on the command line. Is that what you're wanting? It
would work just like the user double-tapping on the cab file...

call ShellExecuteEx on the cab file itself - this will initiate installation
