A required installation file SKU112.CAB could not be found

[FloridaWife]

I am thoroughly annoyed!!!!

Ever since I updated to IE7, EVERYTIME I open an Office program I get
this:
"A required installation file SKU112.CAB could not be found."

I own Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003, and I've put the CD
in to browse for that file, and it is NO WHERE on the CD. I've
searched the whole CD. What am I supposed to do now??????

I am thoroughly upset at IE7 for doing this to me.

Please help.

Hi Elizabeth,

The Sku112.cab file is part of the Office 2003 retail Standard edition. Check in add/remove programs in the windows control panel
to see if that is the edition listed as installed.

If you use Start=>Search and check that CD for
SKU*.*
what matches does it find?

Hi, Bob. Thanks for getting back to me.

I checked add/remove programs like you said and it lists both:
Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003
Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003

(I think I should mention that my computer came with the trial version
of Standard Edition, but I wanted the Professional Edition, so I
bought Professional. Gee, that was three years ago. Anyway, like I
said it, wasn't until I updated to IE7 that I started getting this
annoying message.)

If I search for sku*.* on the CD, it finds four files:
SKU026.CAB
SKU0A4.CAB
SKU111.CAB
SKU111.XML

Oh, Bob, I really appreciate any help you can give.

Hi Elizabeth,

Assuming you have the Office 2003 Professional Edition CD available see if you're able to uninstall the Standard Edition package.
The missing file belongs to that edition and sometimes things get a bit confused when there are two product suites of the same
series installed for versions prior to Office 2007.

If you get an error message when doing so you may need to use this utility to remove the standard edition
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295823/en-us?FR=1
then, restart the PC and do a repair/reinstall of Office 2003 Professional Edition with that CD from Add/Remove Programs in the
Windows control panel.
