Missing Cabs when Installing full file version of OneNote SP1 (and Office 2003 SP1)

Understood, and I'm glad your problem is resolved. I'm curious about what
was in the OneNote folder on the recovery CD. Was there a SKUxxxxx.CAB in
that folder? If there's a problem that other folks are likely to encounter,
I can follow up on it.

Nope - just an MSI file and the normal pre-setup stuff for systems without
the Windows Installer Service. No CABs. Oddly it was also in a subfolder
called "Manual".

Simon, I believe if you look closely, there is a difference between the two
files. When you go to install, the *.exe file will create a temporary
folder on the hard drive for the installation, and it does include a
SKU*.CAB file.

That happens with either one. setup.exe is merely a wrapper for the Windows
Installer Service. Whether you run the .MSI or the setup.exe makes no
difference - they're identical.

Trust me on this - I used to work at MS as a software developer.
