SKU111.CAB missing when attempting to install Office 2003 ServicePack 1?

[Murray Wells]

Hi All,

I'm attempting to install Office 2003 Service Pack 1 as a result of all
of the hype about the JPG security flaw.

For some reason each time I attempt to perform the upgrade to Service
Pack 1 the installation fails with the following message:

<quote>

Installation Error: File not found
A required installation file SKU111.CAB could not be found

Original Installation Source Required:
Your Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 installation source has
been corrupted or removed. You will need to download Microsoft Office
Professional Edition 2003 again or reinstall from your original media.

</quote>

When I receive this message I am not prompted to locate the file myself.
I just get an OK button, which cancels the installation.

When I look at my Office 2003 Professional Edition CD I can see
SKU111.CAB on it, but I don't know where the upgrade / installation is
expecting to find it on my hard drive.

Can anyone tell me where this file is supposed to be located on my
harddrive so I can try copying it there to see if that satisfies the
installation procedure?

Many thanks and much warmth,

Murray Wells

It's probably looking for a local installation source (LIS):

The best way to satisfy it is to re-install Office and ensure you retain the

Why does "Disk Cleanup" ask if you want to delete Office Setup files if
you'll need them later to install a downloadable update?????

Shouldn't Microsoft fix the Disk Cleanup not to let you delete those
files???

I guess they are figuring you know a little more about what you are doing
before blowing stuff away...

On new installs, to help ensure that a LIS gets created and sticks around,
grab the latest setup.exe from:
http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2003/journ/NewSetupEXE.htm

and set ENFORCECACHE to 1 in the setup.ini file under the [cache] section,
or set it on the command line.
