"A required installation file SKU011.CAB could not be found" Whats up?

Hi All,

I'm running MS Office 2003 over WinXP/SP2 up-to-date with Microsoft
Update and good virus/etc. protection. All of a sudden the above
captioned message started popping up whenever I tried to open MS Word.
I installed my installation disk as directed and that seeemed fouled
up.

I checked my installation disk on my server and it appears to be fine.
However there's no such CAB file to be found on it.

I ran Microsoft Update again for main and auxilliary stuff and there's
nothing relevant to be found.

So what's up with this thing. Could I have a virus despite my vaunted
virus protection?

Thanks in Advance,
Richard

seems to answer my question. I'll post back, one way or the other.

Hi All,

Problem solved! As I understand it, Microsoft installs a hidden cache
when it installs Office. I think the most recent Microsoft Update I
did decided the a certain CAB was superfluous and thus deleted it,
perhaps because I selected a "clean-up" option - I don't remember that
clearly.

Nevertheles, I downloaded/installed/ran the tool offered to repair
this problem, installed my original Office CD and voila! Word docs
open without any hassle.

Regards,
Richard
