CABS can't be found during Office 2003 installation

[Gary]

I have tried numerous installations tonight of Office 2003, and I keep
getting various errors stating that a particular CAB file cannot be
found (the CAB files differ at times). I've taken the CD out of one
drive and put it in another (which got it by -that- CAB file but then
failed to find another very shortly). I have two different Office 2003
installation disks (both of them legitimate) and tried switching them.
Again, this sometimes moved the installation process past the
particular CAB file it was looking for at that point, but quickly
stopped again after failing to find another CAB file.

I've tried the Microsoft Knowledgebase workarounds (flatfile
installation, installing only one program at a time rather than the
entire suite), and nothing works. Neither of these CDs had trouble
copying their files to the Flatfile folders I made.

Help! It'd be much appreciated if someone could help me get through
this one.

Thanks,
Gary

It looks like the CD is damaged. I suggest try to wipe it with a damp
cloth to see if this resolves the problem. Also, try to copy the entire
CD on the HD first and then install from there by clicking on file
called SETUP.EXE.
