Default Missing Cabs when Installing full file version of OneNote SP1 (and Office 2003 SP1)

You don't reinstall the entire computer. You just insert the Office 2003
CD, and ask it to reinstall Office. It leaves all your settings, data etc.
intact. The whole process takes about ten minutes.

Office 2003 won't look to the Installation CD's.

The problem is that it's really easy to delete the Office .CAB files if

you
use the Disk Cleanup routine in My Computer. If you do so, Office can no
longer be updated, unless you first haul out the O2003 installation CD's,
and do a reinstall.

It seems to me that this newer setup is really poor. First, it clogs your
HD with 250+ MB of files, and second, because they get included
automatically in the Disk Cleanup checklist, it's really an accident

waiting
to happen.

To prevent this accident, you should, after reinstalling, load the Disk
Cleanup routine in My Computer, and then uncheck the box "Office Setup
Files".


Unfortunately, I'm not willing to reinstall my entire laptop - I don't have
an install CD for OneNote; it comes as part of the Toshiba Restore
procedure.

Default Missing Cabs when Installing full file version of OneNote SP1 (and Office 2003 SP1)

According to my OEM contacts, the full OneNote image is on the CD Toshiba
provided with your laptop. You should just need to insert that CD into the
CDROM drive.

The Office 2003 products have a new Local Install Source feature that puts
an image of the CD on the local hard drive. When the update cannot locate a
needed file in that location, it will request the CD. Once you have
inserted the CD, the needed files will be copied, and you should never need
to provide the CD again.

Whenever I try to install OneNote 2003 SP1 or Office 2003 SP1 full-file
service packs, I get "missing CAB file" errors.

Does anyone know why this is happening? I have a Toshiba M205 PC, and as
such don't have access to the CABs for OneNote, so I can't install the
missing files from the install media as I don't have any. Needless to say,
I really need the full file version to work.

I get similar errors on the Office 2003 SP1 with missing CABs from
FrontPage 2003.

Thanks,
Simon

Actually, it isn't necessary to reinstall Office. Just insert the CD, and
install SP1, it will automatically copy the needed files.

The site you provided is nonexistent.

What seems more likely is IF you tell it to install the CABs to the HD
then it does so and changes the pointer in the registry to point to the
location on the HD. Then if you delete the files the pointer points to an
empty folder. However, IF you never told it to install the CABs to the HD
then the pointer would still point to the CD. Since I don't know what
this folder is then I can't tell you where to find the pointer in the
registry to modify it. Maybe someone else knows.

You must be having connectivity issues as it definitely exists. I copied
this URL from the Address bar in Internet Explorer.

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?

Simon, my OEM contacts told me that the installation source for OneNote is
on the Toshiba recovery CD. Browse the CD to see if there is a OneNote
folder on it.

Yes, it would appear that there is.

No, it doesn't work.

It is still missing CAB files no matter which subfolder I point it to on
that CD.

I just moved house, so I don't have access to my product key for OneNote
right now. To install the upgrade I'm guessing I'll have to uninstall
OneNote, and reinstall and reactivate, then put on SP1.

Can't do that. *sigh*

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 surfing
the net
