a2561408.cab

[ottley]

During the setup process, the installer cannot find "A2561408.CAB" to
complete the installation even though the file is in the root directory of
the CD and in MSOCache at the time of install.
Any ideas?

mine was a2561405.cab does this mean that this is a pirated product?
Mine was installed when my computer was new but then the monitor went
on a blink and I couldn't get it back and so ended up renistalling
everything as the screen remained blank no matter which monitor I used.
Now Idon't have my office 2003.

No pirates here. It is a Home Use version. ARGH!

Thing is, quite a few people attempting to install one or another version of
O2003 in Vista are getting these messages that it can't find a variety of
different *.cab files even when a quick browse shows it's right there in the
very directroy it tells us to look for, even when either or both the machine
and Office are clean out of the box. There arises the suspicion that we
may have got our hands on bad install disks via misbehaving resellers... or
at least (and potentially more aggravating), on a disk that *Windows* THINKS
is a bad install disk...

I have counted quite a few queries on this subject in this forum, and the
only concrete suggestions in response apply for cases where there's an old
OEM install in the way, not when all parts are apparently "clean".
