Installation file SKU112.CAB not found

[Donna]

I recently installed Windows XP Service Pack 2. Since that time when I try
to get into Office 2003 Word I get the "installation file SKU112.CAB cannot
be found". I cannot find my CD so I click cancel. Then it loads. I've read
messages about this SKU.112 file saying to uniinstall and reinstall Office,
but I cannot find my CD. I am trying to install the Office Service Pack 2
from CD but it will not install because of this darn SKU.112 file.
Help!
Donna

If you do not have the installation cd and want to solve this issue
follow these steps: (works most of the time with all sku.cab files)

1. Click on start==>run==>type "excel /s" without quotations and click
ok.

2. Once Excel is up in safe mode with the error message in front, hold
down ctrl+Alt+Delete keys on your keyboard to bring the task manager up.

3. Click on the processes tab==>look for msiexec.exe (only the one next
to your user name), click on it and end the process.

4. Excel should be running without an error message now==>close Excel in
safe mode==>reopen it one more time in safe mode to check if it is
opening with no error message.

5. Close Excel /s and open Excel normally, it should work fine.

Dear Mary,
I have been struggling all day to fix my Excel programme that suddenly went
AWOL this weekend after installing the internet to my laptop. I have no
computer abilities and was just surfing the net to see what I could find.
Your posting has solved all my excel problems and just in time for an
important work presentation. Thank you so very very much!
All the best,
Catriona
