proplus.ww\proplsww.cab Missing

A CRC error usually means a bad sector on the hard drive. Try running ckdsk
/r to see if it repairs the bad sector.

|
| Finally when it asked to point to Prolus.ww I opened explorer to copy

I think a CRC error at the destination would be resolved by writing to the
next available block. Will run a ckdsk just to be sure.

I couldn't get it working. I tried Crap Cleaner and some more stuff. It
may have been how the first Office was installed originally? The CD
works on lots of PC's, including my own. So I have a volume license copy
of Office 2007 Pro and not finding the ProPluscab file is a large issue.
I see other posts around the Internet. None have found the root cause of
this that I can see, including the MS Support site.

I had this same problem (could not install 2007) and it turned out to be
a RAM memory issue. After two days of trying everything in the book I
pulled one of the memory modules and it installed flawlessly.

Hi garfield-n-odie -

I pointed the installer at the CD and told it to look there. It did not find
it. I have not actually opened the CD and looked for the file. I guess I will
try that next.
Thank

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 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

FYI, if anyone else runs into this problem:
I experienced all the issues listed in the threads. The work around I found was to copy the same files from the CD on to a USB thumb drive and run setup.exe
