Office Pro Installation File not found

[Gregory Peet]

Good evening,
I just got the Brand New copy of Office 2003 Pro through the Home Use
Program. The disc apparently has an error on it. The cabinet file
YS561405.cab will not cache from the disc during install, and it will not
copy the file from the disc to the hard drive to attempt the install from the
harddrive, comes up with a cyclic redundancy error. Is there somewhere you
can download just the specific, uncorrupted .cab file from? I can copy the
rest of the disc to the harddrive and install from the drive, but without a
good copy of that .cab file it wont do any good.
What about downloading a trial version and using the product key for my
liscensed copy to activate? Is that a possible solution, or do I need to go
order another disc??????
I have been using Office 2000 Pro, I first tried using the 'upgrade'
installation, which did not work, so I completely uninstalled all of the
Office 2000 and all the upgrades I've done over the years. Now, I need to get
this 2003 version installed to be able to complete some work that I have
already started....very frustrating evening, so far.

Thank you for any help anyone can provide....

In Browsing through the rest of the posts here and trying the ideas others
have replied, this seems to be a common problem in that one or more of the
..cab files is either corrupted, will not be recognized etc. After Posting my
initial note here, I emailed Microsoft and they are sending me another copy
out. In the meantime, I have found a resolution to my particular file problem
which may or may not help some of you others out here having the same
problem. The .cab file that I am having problems with is a common file
between the "Standard" and "Pro" versions. Not all the .cab files included
with each version are the same, so if you do try this it may or may not work
for you. Although resourseful, this is not what some of you would be likely
to call a viable solution, but this is what I have done. I copied all of the
files that will copy from the cd to a share file on my hard-drive. I then
downloaded the Office 2003 Standard Edition Trial Version, installed but
prior to the installer clearing all the temp files created by the
self-extracting .exe, copied the one .cab file into the previosly copied
share folder. I then ran the installer from the local folder instead of the
cd and was able to install the entire Pro package over the standard and all
seems to be fine. I will be re-installing when I recieve the new CD, just to
make sure that all is good, but this has me back up and running and working

I would return the disk for another one
