Default file missing when installing Office 2003

Hi,
everything started when I updaded office 2003 via office update.
the update required a file: "A3561405.CAB".
I finally gave and decided to reinstall office.

the problem now is that during the installation process that file is
reported as missing.

here is the message:
Installation Error: File not Found
A required installation file A2561405.cab could not be found

I checked the CD and the file on the CD.
this is getting crazy!
the msocache directory is located on the C drive and i have 12 gig of free
space.
I used that CD before and it works fine. I copied the whole CD onto my hard
drive without any error. I then reference the new location but it still fails.
I don't know what to do now!
and on top of that I don't have office anymore now!
Any help would be appreciated.
Mat

I solved the poroblem by deleting the msocache directory and resintalling
office.
office update also worked fine.
