"Missing" Cab files installing office 2007 on localized Vista

E

Emily Lin [MSFT]

Hi Frank,

I am sorry to hear that you encountered the similar problem when installing
Office 2007 Enterprise Edition on the Vista client. Does the issue occur on
every Vista client? Are you able to work around it by another virtual disk?

Please extract the ISO file on the Windows XP client. And then copy all the
Office 2007 installation files to the computer with Windows Vista to
install Office 2007. Thus, we can see if there is problem when you extract
the ISO file on the Windows Vista client.

If possible, are you able to get different installation source files of
Office 2007 instead of the ISO file to see if it is a problem of
installation source files.

Sincerely,

Emily Lin,

No, it still doesn't work. I asked the Technet/MSDN folks if there's
something wrong with the images, but (of course) they claim they're OK. I
don't have access to another O12 Enterprise source yet, I'm preparing this
for a customer, I don't have a volume licensing agreement myself. But that's
what Technet/MSDN is for, isn't it?
Anyway, as the installation source works fine on Windows XP, I don't expect
the source to be corrupt. Any corruption in the source would yield errors on
XP as well, wouldn't it?


I've opened a support incident with Microsoft to get this solved. If you're
interested in the case number, just let me know and I'll email you the
number.

Just to let everyone know: it looks like there are corrupted ISO images
circulating. Further investigations show that on my ISO image, which I
downloaded over and over again from Technet (a legitimate source, I'd say)
the "missing" cab file has an invalid digital signature and a MD5 hash
that's not the same as the accompanying setup.xml. So either the ISO image
on Technet/MSDN is bad, or the mandatory File Transfer Manager mangles the
file. I've also been able to reproduce the missing Proof.cab problem
reported in other threads as well as a missing cab file in Visio 2007 Dutch,
I bet it's the same problem.

So, we're still working on a solution. We could fool the installer by
changing the MD5 hash in setup.xml in the EnterpriseWW.en-us, but I doubt
this will lead to a working Office installation. Stay tuned!

(Solved at last)

To make this story complete:

It all turns out to have been a corruption problem in one of the mirrors of
the MSDN/Technet download site. So, If you are having this problem, be sure
you have the right media, or download it again from MSDN or Technet. If you
don't have download access, and you don't have the original media, then
you're probably trying to install an illegal copy so bugger off.

That said, there are a couple of things that should be solved IMHO:

* On Vista, setup should not just 'fail' upon copying the file to the LIS,
it should log and tell that the digital signature of the file is invalid and
that the MD5 hash does not match, and therefore that setup cannot continue
* On XP, setup does not seem to be checking signatures or MD5 hashes at all
* KB826511 ("How to use a setup log file to troubleshoot setup problems in
Office") incorrectly references Office 2007 as well.

|
| To make this story complete:
|
| It all turns out to have been a corruption problem in one of the mirrors
of
| the MSDN/Technet download site. So, If you are having this problem, be
sure
| you have the right media, or download it again from MSDN or Technet. If
you
| don't have download access, and you don't have the original media, then
| you're probably trying to install an illegal copy so bugger off.
|
| That said, there are a couple of things that should be solved IMHO:
|
| * On Vista, setup should not just 'fail' upon copying the file to the
LIS,
| it should log and tell that the digital signature of the file is invalid
and
| that the MD5 hash does not match, and therefore that setup cannot continue
| * On XP, setup does not seem to be checking signatures or MD5 hashes at
all
| * KB826511 ("How to use a setup log file to troubleshoot setup problems
in
| Office") incorrectly references Office 2007 as well.

hi everyone..i'm having trouble installing 2007 office on vista
ultimate.

while installation is in progress a "Browse for folder" pops us
quoting.. "Setup cannot find Proofing.en-us\Proof.es\Proof.cab. browse
to a valid installation source, and then press click ok.."

I've tried installing from CD and also by coping it across to local
drive.
I've tired all methods discussed earlier in the forum like safe mode
and etc but doesn't seem to be working

Can some please advise/help me futher

Thanking You in advance

Humm had a similar problem. Office 2007 would get stuck at Proof.cab. What
worked for me was to simply eject the DVD tray, resinserted the DVD, hit ok

Hi Leon Hao!



I am a user of the Office enterprise 2007!

I am trying to install the office on the Vista home x32!



I have tried the thing that you proposed at the following forum:

http://forums.techarena.in/office-setup/732321.htm


When I tried the first suggestion of your 4 suggestions the installation wanted the "EnterWW.cab" file.

I tried to give the right direction of the file from both the cd-rom and harddrive (i copied the files), but neither worked!



Then i tried ur secound and third solution, and those failed aswell! So now i would like you to help me turther with this problem!



I have attached the log files from the temp folder and i also took a print screen to show you the error message that i got when i was testing your first suggestion!



I would be glad to receive any information or help that i can get!



Thank you!

All issues with Office Enterprise 2007 should be addressed to the IT person at the Company or Educational Institution from where it was purchased through the Home Program

Was this ever TRULY resolved?

I'm trying to install an Office 2007 Enterprise edition (Home Use Program)
onto a fresh install of Windows XP (SP3). I've tried installing from the
DVD/CD and from my local machine hard drive. I have gotten all the usual
errors... "proof.cab", "infopath.cab", and of course the dreaded
"enterww.cab".

What's the deal? A Google search reveals this to be a non-trivial issue
that is affecting many people. Where is the Microsoft fix?

New System. Vista x64 Ultimate SP1; attempting to install Office 200
Enterprise purchased from university.

Solution which worked for me, oddly enough, is to simply "click" on th
physical drive letter which contains Office 2007 (either physical o
virtual). That's it. I have no idea why the installer fails to locat
this file, but, just give it a helping help and tell it to find it o
the CD-Drive which contains Office 2007.

This probably wouldn't be a good workaround for environments which nee
to perform custom or silent installs. But for most users, shoul
provide a quick / easy workaround. Wanted to post as first was one o
the first hits on Google searching this issue without a good solution

Workaround solution
I just had the same issue, my solution

right click on setup file, configure setup to start as windows x
compatibility mode, and administrator privilege. Then run setup, proble
solved

Actually, I had the same problem trying to install Office07 pro plus
student edition, but I read up there somewhere that clicking on the
office file helped. So, I did that, and it worked! Much easier than some
of the other stuff mentioned, so I can confirm!!! Good luck!!!

Hi all.

I have read many topics about solution of this problem but how I understand
this issue is a real BIG BUG in MS OFFICE 2007 and the microsoft guys can't
give us the working solution of it. I have tried all cases which I found in
forums but it gives me nothing. I have tried 2 different O2k7 on 2 different
XPs and I get tire to try something else. And the result of this all is
"ERROR".
So what is this means? What kind of marketing is this? Really! I will never
provide that microsoft can release the trash like this.
The similar history as with Vista.
