OFFICE 2007 - .CAB Errors During Setup

[Steve James]

X-No-Archive: Yes


Has anyone found a solution for Office XP 2007 falsely reporting that it
cannot find certain .CAB files during the setup process?
I've looked and looked, and all I can find are messages from other users
with the same problem, but there are no working solutions.

Is Microsoft aware of this issue? What are they doing to fix it?
It's preventing me from being able to install MS Office 2007 on XP SP3.

I've been through the usual troubleshooting steps, and NOTHING works. It
simply will NOT install anymore.
It worked fine in the past, so I have no idea.

Hi Steve,

You can get this error from a damaged CD, or from a damaged \MSOCache (hidden) folder on the system when trying to install,
environment variables pointing back to the CD drive or a disconnected mapped drive, or on some occassions with registry entries that
have been damaged by a registry cleaner.

If you copy the CD to the hard drive and install directly from there selecting that specific Setup.exe file do you get the same
issue?

Hi,

I've tried copying the setup files to the hard drive, I've tried everything
I can think of.
There is also no hidden MSOCache folder on any of my drives, so that can't
be the problem.

There could be an issue with a registry cleaner, as I know one was run on
the system in the past.

I've tried everything, and at this point I simply can't get MS Office 2007
installed.
And, come to think of it, I also had the problem on a machine which did NOT
have a registry cleaner run on it, so that likely isn't the problem after
all.
