SKU111.cab missing - upgrading from 2003 Pro to 2007 Std
A few days ago I upgraded an Office 2003 Pro to 2007 Std on a machine
running Win XP Pro SP 3. Today it stated to ask for a missing SKU111.cab file which I cannot locate neither on the 2007 Std CD nor on a 2007 Pro install CD I also have (for another client). I have tried the solution from Peter Foldes earlier in this group (Kill the msiexec.exe process) but keep getting the error back. Can anyone suggest a solution to this? Regards, Kim

SKU111.cab missing - upgrading from 2003 Pro to 2007 Std
Copied frpm Mary Sauer MS-MVP Office
snip If you do not have the installation cd and want to solve this issue follow these steps: (works most of the time with all sku.cab files) 1. Click on start==run==type "excel /s" without quotations and click ok. 2. Once Excel is up in safe mode with the error message in front, hold down ctrl+Alt+Delete keys on your keyboard to bring the task manager up. 3. Click on the processes tab==look for msiexec.exe (only the one next to your user name), click on it and end the process. 4. Excel should be running without an error message now==close Excel in safe mode==reopen it one more time in safe mode to check if it is opening with no error message. 5. Close Excel /s and open Excel normally, it should work fine. The above solution was previously supplied by (Bahboosh) on other dedicated Newsgroup. end snip -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

SKU111.cab missing - upgrading from 2003 Pro to 2007 Std
Thank you! Not only did your solution work for Excel, but with a slight
modification it worked on my Outlook which was also demonstrating the same error message.

SKU111.cab missing - upgrading from 2003 Pro to 2007 Std
Peters post works GREAT !! - just one suggestion. Have the Windows Task
Manager up befor you start. When I just did this, I saw that there were 2 editions of the msiexec.exe. One was regestered to SYSTEM and the other one was registered to me (the user). The User one was only valid while the error message screen is up. That is the one you need to kill.
