Office 2003 sp3 fails to install

W

Wiltshire Paul

I am unable to install Office 2003 sp3. I've downloaded it 6 times but i get
the same error message when i try to run the installation. It says
"Extracting file failed. It is most likely caused by low memory (low disk
space for swapping file) or corrupted cabinet file."

I've also tried to install Outlook 2003 sp3 but get exactly the same error
messsage.

Try and put your installation Office CD media into your CD\DVD ROM when installing

Thanks Peter

I had lots of problems with faulty cab files in the download. Fortunately i
was able to borrow a CD with SP3 on from a friend. Even then i still had to
put the original Office 2003 CD in to find some missing cab files.

My problem is now resolved.

I just installed Office 2003. Does anyone know how much available memory we
need? I'm having the same problem trying to install the SP3 updates.
