proplus.ww\proplsww.cab Missing

I am installing Microsoft Office 2007 on a Vista Business computer. I am
using Volume Licensing Software on multiple computers. I have installed this
program on four previous computers with no problems. There are fourteen
Licenses available. When I attempted an install on this last computer I
receive the message that states "proplus.ww\proplsww.cab is missing". Where
do I find this file? I've done a search on one of the other computers that
had a successful install (including the Registry), but did not turn up the
file there either. If the file is missing on those computers as well, why
did I have a successful install on those but not on the last one? Can anyone
identify this file for me and indicate where I might find it please?
Thank you for your assistance!

Regards,

Vic

It's on the Office 2007 CD.

Hi garfield-n-odie -

I pointed the installer at the CD and told it to look there. It didn't find
it. I have not actually opened the CD and looked for the file. I guess I'll
try that next.
Thank you for your input.

Thank you for your assistance!

Regards,

Vic

I have the same issue and the file is on the CD located in the
ProplsWW folder. I choose that location and it still craps out.

I have had this same problem, I used another of the CD's I have been installing (multiple users over a business network) and the same licence from the disk that wasn't working. This seemed to work no problem. The disks are all the same, its the licence you have paid your money for.

I had this same problem. I used an install disk off another copy and used my licence from the disk I was having the error from, and it worked fine. I am assuming your disk's were in as poor condition as mine (brought new!). Not that I am complaining, its just the licence you pay for, the disks are always the same.

Hi I also get this error. I have the files copied on a CD. I can install
it on 20 computers...BUT I have one I cannot. I get the classic error
"setup cannot find ProPlus.WW\ProPlsWW.cab browse to a valid
installation source and then click OK"... I can point it to the file all
day.... no go. I have looked long and hard for an answer. The best one
is to re-format the drive and start again.

Hi

I would suggest you select custom install and then install one application
at a time from office 2007 installation. The usually appears if there is a
memory Error in the RAM installed on the memory.

Sunny

FYI. Well, I am using a Corporate version of this app....I can install
it on PC after PC until I hit this one. Then I got this error. I checked
the Internet forums and lots get this error. One mentioned a registry
fix regarding HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software, Office (not 100% of the
path) and then key Ver11 or something like that, but it never worked for
me. I have the user working with MS Office 2003 and the Compatibility
Pack right now and have given up trying to get Office 2007 on that PC.
At this point it would be quicker to put a fresh image on the PC and
install Office 2007. Thanks for all the replies.

I ran into this error yesterday trying to install on one machine (XP SP3,
Office 2000 upgrade). Tried about 6 times with the same error '"invalid
location" when trying to copy proplsww.cab

Finally when it asked to point to Prolus.ww I opened explorer to copy the
ProPlusWW folder to the desktop. Got a CRC error and could not copy the file.

Assumed a bad CD so back to the office to burn a new one. Once there I
tried on my machine to copy the ProPlusWW folder off the CD and it copied
fine, so much for the bad CD theory.

Guess I have to go back to the users machine and try the copy without the
installer running?

Can anyone make any sense of this?
