Default Problem with LISTool retrieving files from OneNote on Toshiba Missing Cabs when Installing full file version of OneNote SP1 (and Office 2003 SP1) (was: Missing Cabs when Installing full file version of OneNote SP1 (and Office 2003 SP1))

OK; I'm using the LISTool that you recommended to Grant Robertson; I'm told
that I'm missing SKU1A1.CAB when I try to install the LIS files from the
OneNote image on the CD.

This is getting tortuous.

OK - finally found a solution.

Use the LISTool to delete the install cache - then, installing the full
admin install works fine.

*phew*

Finally!

Understood, and I'm glad your problem is resolved. I'm curious about what
was in the OneNote folder on the recovery CD. Was there a SKUxxxxx.CAB in
that folder? If there's a problem that other folks are likely to encounter,
I can follow up on it.

Look, I know you're trying to help, but please don't be such a knowitall
ass and try reading my post.

Note the part which asys "I don't have an install CD for OneNote - it
comes
as part of the Toshiba Restore procedure".

No Office 2003 CD.
No way of installing One Note again without doing a complete wipe of the
laptop.

Do you understand now?


I apologize for my caustic tone in the above post... I'm highly stressed
out and frustrated right now - probably not the best of times to be

Nope - just an MSI file and the normal pre-setup stuff for systems without
the Windows Installer Service. No CABs. Oddly it was also in a subfolder
called "Manual".

Simon, I believe if you look closely, there is a difference between the two
files. When you go to install, the *.exe file will create a temporary
folder on the hard drive for the installation, and it does include a
SKU*.CAB file.

That happens with either one. setup.exe is merely a wrapper for the Windows
Installer Service. Whether you run the .MSI or the setup.exe makes no
difference - they're identical.

Trust me on this - I used to work at MS as a software developer.

setup.exe sometimes has a little logic and other bits of code that are
necessary for a setup to work correctly - not every setup.exe is just a
plain MSI wrapper. But in this case, you just need to point the Sp1 patch
setup at the MSI to get the setup to complete. BTW, With XP SP2 this
requirement of Windows Installer is finally removed.

Actually, Chris, not in this case... You do need to run the LISTool to
remove the cached install files. I tried pointing the SP1 patch at the MSI
file - it just kept asking for the CAB.
