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))

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.

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! Simon |

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

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 surfing the net |

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. -- Chris H.

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. Chris Pratley (MS) Onenote design team "Simon Cooke" wrote in message ...

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. |
