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

[Sloan Crayton [MS]]

Can you elaborate on what you mean by the CD has no CABs?

I had the same issue with my Averatec C3500 Tablet PC. It kept asking
for a SKU1A1.CAB file. I followed Simon's suggestion and used the
LISTool to remove the local installation source. Then the full SP1
patch install worked. OneNote came installed with the PC and I do not
have a OneNote or Office 2003 install CD. All I have are some PC
restore CDs which I expect would be similar to Simon's (I didn't even
look on them), although I'm not an expert on this...

I went through this kind of crap once already with the TaxSaver team.
They
had a demo install on their website which tried to download its files
from
inside corpnet. We went around for a week of stupidity while I kept
telling
them to try using the installer from OUTSIDE the firewall. They kept
insisting that it worked fine - because they kept trying to run it
from
WITHIN the firewall.

I don't make these pronouncements lightly. I am not guessing. I'm
telling
you EXACTLY what I had to do to get it to work, and what did and did
not
work.

Read my post again. On a Toshiba M200, default install of OneNote as
shipped by the OEM, one HAS to run the LisTool to delete the
installation
source or the admin full install of SP1 will not work.

Chris's suggestion that I point the installer at the MSI file when it
asked
for the CAB does NOT work.

There is a problem with Office 2003 installs which are told to DELETE
the
installation source cache after they finish installation. It would
appear
that this operation does not correctly delete the cache, causing the
admin
full-file install to fault because it cannot find the files which its
index
is telling it should be in the install cache there.

Inserting the CD does NOT do what you're talking about. The CD does
NOT
contain any CABs, and does not automatically install the CAB files
into
the
MSOCache folder from the MSI.

Running the LisTool tool to delete the install cache, however, causes
the
Admin full-file SP1 install to CORRECTLY and COMPLETELY install
without
any
further error.
