Office 2003 SP1 will not install
I have the same problem. The file is in the installation CD but not anywhere on the desktop PC. I looked in a laptop and the file is not there either but the installation went without a hitch. I downloaded the latest web components, as indicated in the error message, and still no luck.

Similar problem but I'm missing sku111.cab. I have searched the
installation disks and it simply isn't there. Shawn "Martin Racette" wrote in message . ..

Office 2003 SP1 will not install
You're correct to complain! This may not make you happy, but I uncovered
this issue yesterday and posted about it. I have 2 copies of Office 2003 Pro at home. I thought that I only had one copy of the program. When I first ran into this problem, I went to the one copy I had and looked on the CD. That sku111.cab file was NOT on the disk. Later, I found the other copy of the program and guess what? SKU111.cab is on that version of the disk! Nothing on the packaging tells me what the difference is between the 2 versions, but on the disks themselves, the one that doesn't work also has the following words: "Home Use Program". The disk that does work doesn't mention these words. Good luck! Richard "Gerry" wrote in message ... I am also having the same problem. "Shawn Mason" wrote in message ...

Office 2003 SP1 will not install
Martin, see the information in the KB article at
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;875556. Office 2003 includes a new Setup feature called the Local Install Source which copies the installation files to the local hard drive. If you insert the CD when prompted, SP1 installation will complete successfully. The benefit of having the installation files on your local hard drive is that you'll never be prompted to insert the CD again. Sloan Crayton Microsoft "Martin Racette" wrote in message . ..

Richard, if you have multiple Office 2003 products installed, you should
uninstall the one that you don't need. Overlapping Office products will cause future problems for you. Sloan Crayton Microsoft "RICHARD STRINGFELLOW" wrote in message ... You're correct to complain!

Assuming that you find the file you need on the CD where do you copy it to.

Assuming that you find the missing CAB file on the CD, where do you copy the file. I tried copying it in several places in the Office 2003 folder and it did not solve the problem
