Installation Error: File not Found

[Gregory Peet]

I'm having the same problem with my copy of Office 2003. One of the .cab
files will not cashe and when I try copying the CD all of the other files
copy except the one .CAB file..... I also have a posted thread in this forum
but have not received any helpful responses to my posting, been following
yours to see if anyone comes up with a suitable fix for you....lol..... I
have also sent emails to the Microsoft Support people about how to return
what seems like a defective CD, I'll post whatever their answer to the
question is here, also....

In Browsing through the rest of the posts here and trying the ideas others
have replied, this seems to be a common problem in that one or more of the
..cab files is either corrupted, will not be recognized etc. After Posting my
initial note here, I emailed Microsoft and they are sending me another copy
out. In the meantime, I have found a resolution to my particular file problem
which may or may not help some of you others out here having the same
problem. The .cab file that I am having problems with is a common file
between the "Standard" and "Pro" versions. Not all the .cab files included
with each version are the same, so if you do try this it may or may not work
for you. Although resourseful, this is not what some of you would be likely
to call a viable solution, but this is what I have done. I copied all of the
files that will copy from the cd to a share file on my hard-drive. I then
downloaded the Office 2003 Standard Edition Trial Version, installed but
prior to the installer clearing all the temp files created by the
self-extracting .exe, copied that one .cab file into the previosly copied
share folder. I then ran the installer from the local folder instead of the
cd and was able to install the entire Pro package over the standard and all
seems to be fine. I will be re-installing when I recieve the new CD, just to
make sure that all is good, but this has me back up and running and working
on my ongoing projects.
Like I say, this may not be the 'proper' fix, and it may not work in your
particular situation, but if you are like me you will probably want to try it
just to see if it works and to do anything other than give up and resort to
obtaining another copy of the Program CD....lol....
