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

Probably true...plus, I believe the Disk Cleanup utility came before the
LIS, so it isn't likely aware of it.

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.

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???

THERE IS 2 POSSIBLE ANSWERS TO THIS ISSUE:

1) The SKU111.CAB file is actualy located within another CAB file
which is w
hy it can't be located when searching for in on the original Office
2003 CD.

The Office 2003 CD will copy files to your local HD during
installation (if
HD space permits) these files come from decompressing CAB files. Some
of these CAB files contain other CAB files within. Finaly the setup
will run a clean up in the final steps of the installation.

This file was most likely deleted as part of the post setup routine.

If you attempt to run a search of the office CD the search WILL NOT
look within the CAB files. So there is a possibilty that it is on that
CD but I'm not decompressing every CAB file to look for it...

2) This file is not on the MS Office 2003 CD at all. Microsofts Office
Suite
of applications covers many more application than what you get on any
of th
e MS Office CD's. So for instance if you have installed "One Note",
"Front P
age", "Visio", "MapPoint"..ect which are all part of "MS Office" this
file may be on one of those CD's
..

When you go to office update and attempt to install SP1 it may be
looking for SKU111.CAB file from the "Front Page" CD.

What installation CD contains the SKU111.CAB is anyones quess and I
hope tha
t if someone finds it they will reply to this post and put and end to
this m
adness..
