I was doing an upgrade from Office Pro '03 to '07, and hit an error calling for
C:\TEMP\SKU011.CAB. The CAB was not anywhere on the machine so I copied the file
from another machine to the TEMP folder, then another CAB, then another.

I'm not sure where the files went, but I had them on another machine so I copied
the entire folder from one machine to the other, and the upgrade finished okay.

It ran a bit on the slow side, but I'm thinking this is a hardware issue not a
file location issue.

It's a bit of a pain to have the qualified base for an upgrade installed and
running, and have the Installation Support Files missing. It seems that one must
REINSTALL the qualified base to ensure the files are in place to support the
Upgrade. Why would MSoft assume that people would keep CAB files after an
aplication is installed and running? If a file inside of a CAB is needed, then it
ought to be installed already, not extracted from the CAB during an Upgrade.

MSoft must hate its customers. On the other hand, I could have made $150 to
install the upgrade if this was a paying customer instead of a family member.
