office install problem

[chris]

Hi, I recently reformatted my harddrive. I had Office XP
on Windows XP and worked great. Now after the reformat, I
can't install Office XP. I've tried 2 different setup
disks and nothing works. The error is something w/
the "office1.cab" file. I have no idea what that is. I
have reformatted 2x and it still gives me that error.

It's a billion to one odds of having 2 bad setup disks.
But I've used my setup disk before only on my computer
and it installed fine. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.
