SP2 for Office XP

[BogdanSUA]

I ran into an interesting problem that you may run into.
I installed OfficeXP Professional via my CD that I got
with Volume Licensing.

I then installed SP1 with no problems
But then when I tried to install SP2, it would comeback
and say that it could not find office1.cab

I browsed to the CD and saw that it was a hidden file.
Some genius at MS decided to make office1.cab a hidden
file. I then copied everything to a local directory and
unhid the office1.cab.

Eject the CD if its still in your drive. Then when it
asks you for pro.msi, point it to your local copy, and
you should be good to go.

In researching my problem I looked at both CDs and the HD
for either of these files and can't find. If hidden,
what's the trick to unhide?

cmd.exe and type attrib -h file name or right click the file and select
properties then uncheck the hidden option.
