SKU111.cab missing - upgrading from 2003 Pro to 2007 Std

[Kim]

A few days ago I upgraded an Office 2003 Pro to 2007 Std on a machine
running Win XP Pro SP 3.
Today it stated to ask for a missing SKU111.cab file which I cannot
locate neither on the 2007 Std CD nor on a 2007 Pro install CD I also
have (for another client).
I have tried the solution from Peter Foldes earlier in this group (Kill
the msiexec.exe process) but keep getting the error back.

Can anyone suggest a solution to this?
Regards,
Kim

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.

Thank you! Not only did your solution work for Excel, but with a slight
modification it worked on my Outlook which was also demonstrating the same
error message.
