Office 2003 SP1 will not install

R

RICHARD STRINGFELLOW

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

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.
