Be sure to have your original Office CDs handy. The updates won't install without it. Don't have your original CDs? Sucks to be you.

Actually, the updates installed without CDs for me. However, I did have issues. Word update installed fine the normal way, but the other two failed. I had to download the full Admin install for the general Office and Outlook Junk Mail Filter Update patches. Nothing is ever easy.

I also had to d'load the full admin install for the Word and Excel updates even though I had the disks.

I downloaded the full admin install and it still asked me for the original disks looking for "SKU011.CAB". Where did I put those OpenOffice cds again?

Or you could use OpenOffice.org... *runs*

If you have found that any patches for Office 2003 required the original installation CDs please see my blog at: http://blogs.msdn.com/robmen/archive/2004/02/04.aspx.

Sorry, that link should be: http://blogs.msdn.com/robmen/archive/2004/02/04.aspx

Awesome Rob - it's awesome when Microsoft developers are posting items like what you posted. It helps us non-Microsoft employees realize that: A) We aren't going insane when we run into these sorts of problems, and B) You are human too.

I recently had to perform an image restore on my windows 2000 partition, and my backed up image was from a fresh win2k installation with many CDs already installed. The first time I actually try to run Office (Word) from a regular user account, it complained that it needed to install things. I can't remember if it couldn't find a file there, but I attempted to Repare (Detect and Fix Errors only) from Administrator. And from there, it was complaining that it couldn't find a required installation file SKU011.CAB.

I was glad I still had all my installation files in a nice directory structure on another partition, which did have SKU011.CAB. But I explicitly told it where the file was and it still complained.

I read this blog, and realized that the path to my installation files may have changed a drive letter, but I first tried something else. My NTFS C Drive had security set up for Full Control to Administrator, and smaller read access to Everyone. I changed my Full Control to the group Administrators, and suddenly the install went fine. (Note, the SKU011.CAB and the entire partition that it was on had Full Control already to the group Administrators and Everyone, and so the problem was not that the file could not be read.) I suppose a more descripitive error could have been that it didn't have access to write to the drive, instead of that it couldn't find the file. Was the install running as a different user? Other than Administrator, but still in the group Administrators?

I have the same problem,and i tried to download sku011.cab but failed.I'm a layman.How to change my Full Control to the group Administrators?Who can tell me how to solve this problem step by step?

:D

:D

:D

The original sku011.cab is hidden and probably some of them are inavailable.

have a try..

ftp://61.138.6.199/office2003/PRO/SKU011.CAB

ftp://61.128.210.134/office2003/SKU011.CAB

Hello, I just upgraded, installing the latest "office" and I too experienced problems.. at first it started when my "access" was asking for "sku011.cab", and thinking that I had done something wrong, I re-installed "office" and this time it asked to "upgrade" from website, and then asked for the original disk, (which was still in my drive) now my problems started to get worse, it keeps rebooting my system (at least 30 times in 2 days) .... any one for linux???

I went to ftp://61.138.6.199/office2003/PRO/SKU011.CAB and it tells me that this file is corrupted, and then I tried ftp://61.128.210.134/office2003/SKU011.CAB and nothing is there.. a look at google shows at least 60 others with the same problem..

here is another place to try: http://202.105.138.158:8080/downloads/sc_office_2003_pro.iso

I have not tried this yet..

Just a note to say that if any of you are in need of downloading SKU011.cab, use eDonkey (for those that dont know it, www.edonkey.com) it has about 10 different versions of the file but most of them are fully working.

A

Or use kazaa (www.kazaa.com), there is a good version on there too

Andy - Bad! Don't use Kazaa - full of spyware and adware. Will slow your machine down, make it insecure, and can lead to programs like IE crashing.

Technically yes, but when you deconstruct the code and build you own, you get all the features you need without any of the crap that you dont. Alternatively use Adaware6, best spyware remover ive ever come across. . .

Any other sites to download sku011.cab?

Dylan, ever hear of kazaa lite! No adware or spyware!!!

#18 - Kazaa Lite doesn't come with any but your system can still get the spyware/adware through Kazaa's updates/upgrades.

What is the correct file size for the one that actually works?

Hi - I too have tried to do an on-line update and asked for the SKU011.CAB. What is the solution please...?

Regards, Dave (daveowen@btopenworld.com)

the problem of SKU011.CAB

change setup.ini

CDCACHE=0

At mais...

about the SKU011.CAB file, is in the root of Office 2003 CD1, just unhide system files and folders, It works for me.

Just a note for anyone else trying to solve this problem for Office 2003 on Windows XP -- I occasionally play around with the services on my machine, disabling those that seem to be sucking up memory for no particular good reason. I was also experiencing the SKU011.CAB problem: I couldn't start Excel, and when it prompted me for the Office installation disc, it wasn't able to find the file, even though I could locate it myself in Windows Explorer. Turns out that one of those services I stopped, called "Office Source Engine", must have been the cause. I just quit out of all my installation/repair dialogs to get back to the desktop, started that service, and was instantly able to open Excel with no problems. Perhaps this is the case with someone else.

SKU011.CAB sucks ass,

i couldnt f'n agree more.

I just got off the phone with Microsoft on this problem. It has not been documented yet for the Knowledge Base.

We were able to get Office Update to run without the SKU011.CAB problem by first doing a repair of the Office Install. I was having the same trouble running either Office Update or when I tried to add components to Office 2003.

here ya go fellaz., Sku011.cab is here. along with all the other files. keke

The latest link to SKU011.CAB is out... Please, give me a working link, anyone! I cant install Office due to this problem, and it's REALLY getting on my nerves now...

ok I had the dreaded SKU011.cab prob but all I did was open the folder and view all files then copied the files onto the desktop when the proggie (outlook) opened it found it and worked straight away

this site http://flash.lakeheadu.ca/~drphilli/Jenni/01_Office%202003%20Pro/ is not found

and there ftp://61.138.6.199/office2003/PRO/SKU011.CAB can list,but not download.

OH.NOooooooooooooooo~~~!

help me !trouble with SKU011.CAB

I had a problem with SKU011.CAB on 2 Dell Optiplex pc's: one has a problem with the installation of Office XP 2003 and no programmes will open; the other has a problem with Excel that came as a direct result of trying to install a Microsoft Office Update (there had been no problems with Excel before). When I try to run Excel, it shows the usual screens ('Preparing to install', 'Please wait while Windows configures.../Gathering required info...', Installation Error: File not found...').

One site suggested the problem was with the MSOCache folder, and recommended copying the MSOCache folder from another pc. I looked on another of my pc's and it had more files in the folder (my folder was about 8MB, the other about 17MB) - including SKU011.CAB - so I copied it onto my hard drive.

I tried to run the install of Excel again, it couldn't find SKU011.CAB in the correct sub-folder of MSOCache, so I copied the SKU011.CAB file to the Desktop, tried it again, and it now found it. BUT! It's now looking for E2561410.CAB, which I can't find on any pc. When I search for it on Google, only one website contains it, but the link's broken now.

So, still stuck! And all cos my IT company lost my Office discs.

same problem as #44 ... where is the e2561410 file!! can't find it anywhere.

Pues yo tambin estoy a punto de tirar miPC. Lo he probado casi todo y no consigo resolver mi problema con el sku011.cab.

Adems me pide tambin el atpvbaen.xla y lo tiene ah mismo, en el disco duro, y ni se entera!. S.O.S.

valen verga todos ustedes

Can someone explain in detail and english how to fix this problem with sku011.cab. I'm not the most computer literate and I don't have the original CD's. I can find the file and what seems to be sku011 but the installation still says unable to find.. Do I have to copy/paste this file somewhere?

Indeed, SKU011.CAB must be available on the folder C:\MSOCache\All Users\9000040c-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9. Then you just have to run the set up file Office2003-kb828041-client-enu.exe.

By the way, I managed to grab the SKU011.CAB file, if anyone wants it, just tell me where I can send it to you (ndepetris@free.fr)

dear nikko, please send me the SKU011.CAB in my e-mail.

welington.jorge@terra.com.br

Dear all, due to the amount of mail I now receive from many people looking for the god da... SKU011.cab file, I promise to soon put it on an FTP or http site. But as I am not really well equiped for that, may anybody could host it for me ? Please answer to ndepetris@free.fr

4.you will see "are you certain you want to exit...."

choose "yes"

5.run your Office-2003-SP1 update.

Thanks Nikko, saved my day

This is driving me absolutely nuts.

I did everything listed on the website listed above with sku011.cab file, but nothing works;the .cab file always disappears from the folder I save it in ;(

i have the same porblem, when i run what #49 said, it works but cant recognise SKU011.cab, but it is in the right folder and the path is right too, ????

and sometimes SKU011.cab disappears like in #56

WHAT TO DO?????

one thing i found is that my folder name is: 90000407-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9 and not 9000040c-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9

if you dont see the difference: its the 7 instead of the c at the end of the first block

please help me

Re:90000407-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9 This is the Product Code from your particular installation Cd (open setup.ini in notepad)and will vary from cd to cd. Hope this helps

thanks for the help but it doesnt help,

Yea same problem for me but its when a user tries to run an access query. I had the user ad the sku011.cab file to the right directory but it still did not work?

It is not working for me also following #49 (I do not even have that .exe file) and #53. What do I do? I barley get enough hits from Google on this topic, and I have not idea what to search for with this new problem (its does not work even with correct files in the right folder.

I would switch to OpenOffice but then I couldn't use Disruptor OL with Outlook 2003 :(

I downloaded the service pack and failed with that, after failing with downloading sku011.cab and putting it in the appropriate dir and trying to continue with the installation (an addition to my present installation) as in #49. Any other ideas? Thanks.

Hey all... surprise surprise someone else looking to download SKU011.cab!!! can't find my cds!!! ARGH! pls help! email matt@thatgiraffe.co.uk thanks all!

After numerous failed installs tried as #54 - everything went thru without having to change/search for files etc! Many thanks!!!!

First of all, I would like to make mi apologies to those who did not manage to fix the problem thanks to my solution (53 to 54).

The problem, then, may be a security issue (see http://www.mcse.ms/message436198.html). Here, as a summary, the fellow explains that "The security settings on (his)

C-drive prevents (him) from creating new directories in the root directory, and

the installer apparently wanted to create C:\MSOCache. So if you don't have

this directory and can't create it yourself you cannot patch Office 2003."

So maybe everyone still having a trouble with this damned file may check this out.

From my part, everything is solved since I applied the patch...

This fixed it for me

Marcio in #22 had the solution that worked for me. Go into Registry Editor (Start, Run, "regedit"). Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software, Microsoft, Office, 11.0, Delivery. There should be only 1 directory under Delivery, which is your DownloadCode (mine was 90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9). Select that directory. On the right side of the screen, right-click on CDCache. Change the value to 0. This worked for me, but be very careful anytime you edit the system registry. Thanks for the great advice on this board.

I tried the above methods... tried uninstalling and installing, formatting my com and re-installing, our MS office still doesn't budge... i am really lost at what to do. I need to recover all my mails. perhaps i shd do away with MS office. Someone pls advise. Thanks.

#69 SOLVED IT FOR ME. THX A LOT!!!

谁能告诉我怎么样去下载这个东西(SKU011.CAB)我在此万分的感谢!

I had #57 problems and #69 worked for me too.

marcio in#22 you ARE THE MAN! this really works fellas! Try It!

marcio #22 an re-explained in # 69 really works,good job!!bom trabalho brasil!!

#69 mate your a lifesaver. i have been trying to find a solution for months and tried a million different options with only yours working... you are a champ

I have got the problems with #57 and I try #69 and I can say that it works :)

#69 works.... Hallelujah. Marcio and Reinvestor you are wonderful. The instructions are so clear. This is after trying about ten Googled sites. I'd love to know why this problem occured in the first place, it was fine until last week.

#69 YOU MAKE MY DAY !! thanks

#69 best number in the world - for more than one reason now. Your a god

哈哈 ,谢谢#69的人,我知道怎么搞了,真是好呀,哈哈!!!!

thanks for #69,you is my god!!

Well, I was having the same problem (stupid Microsoft), I implemented the solution from #69, it seemed to work, but I found that Windows Installer required another set up file, the same one from #44. I searched google for that, and found this website that saved me. It has a list of CAB files that Office might ask for. You can download them individually or have a zip file of all the CABs. The link is as follows:

http://www-ee.eng.hawaii.edu/~akers/Help/MSOffice_Update/MSOffice2003_Cabs/.index.html

Yeap, #69 works great! ThankX a lot!

praise REInvestor. Youre the man... thanx i can finish my work.

and my system works fine again. still makes me think about bill's man doing sloppy work. But what should he care they made huge proffits again.

Martijn

#69 you are my hero! I really needed excel for my exams!

I tried the website that #83 posted, bu it doesn't have the cab I need. I need PA561401.CAB. Does anybody know where I can get it? Don't even say google, cuz I already tried

Marcio! aquilo anda! obrigado! (a marche! merci!) (it worked! Thanks!)

#69 (from #22) worked like a dream. Tnak-you very much.

Tnak? Thank-you

Good luck!

Yet another victory for #69... You so rock dude. I was at it for a while, and thought all attemts would be futile. #69 took only about 20 seconds and saved me hours of research and hassle! #69 works folks!!

#69 worked great to allow me to open Excel and update spam junk filter but I still had to download fullfile version of office 2003 service pack 1

http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/a/9/1a9a2039-70e3-4e92-b977-756fe884f731/Office2003SP1-kb842532-fullfile-enu.exe

I couldn't even iinstall that before though.

Thanks for the great info!!!

#69 (what's in a name :-)):

Thank you master!!! keep posting...

Thank you very, VERY much!

#69 SOLVED IT FOR ME. REInvestor, THX A LOT!!!

#69 SOLVED IT FOR ME. REInvestor, THX A LOT!!!

Indeed, SKU011.CAB must be available on the folder C:\MSOCache\All Users\9000040c-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9.

#69, i will hop on the bandwagon as well. Awesome fix!!!!

I think REinvestor on #69 should come forward publicly so we can send him/her Xmas cards.

I lost The File, thx.

Finally!!!

Thanks to everybody!! Copied the file to the c:/MSOCache/all users/90000414-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9. At first it didn't work. Only the XLM-file was copied. But I thougt both was copied. Then I did it again, and everything work fine. Excel opnened, and I can finally do some work!

Thank's everybody

PARA LA COMUNIDAD EN ESPAOL: MARCIO (#22) Y REInvestor #69 TIENEN LA RESPUESTA A ESTE PROBLEMA DEL SKU011.CAB...REALMENTE FUNCIONA...!!! THANKS A LOT GUYS...!!!

#22 and #69 - Hats off to you guys. Installing the update as we type.

One question - should I change CDCache back to 2?? Or leave it. Will it have any future effect on other things?

everytime i send a e-mail i always get error would you like to send report..can some one please help..xp pro office outlook pro 2003 edition

#69... i thank you from the DEEPEST BOTTOM of my heart

ok ...here's the deal...everything on my comp until i gotevidence eliminator v5.0 and apparently it somehow uninstalled my Office 2003 Pro and deleted sku011.cab ...i used #69's famed method and now it is asking me in the instillation for file D:\MSOcache\AllUsers\90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9\YT561401.CAB--it gives me an error and asks to verify if the file exists and asks to retry. My comp was runnin so smooth..i think i really might have screwed it up...its runnin kinda slow now...has anyone ever heard of EEv5.0 and wether or not some pirated versions can screw things up....i would appreciate some input....i am a definite layman.....i'm really lost....Thanks

tried this but now i get mso cache is not a valid folder i am using windows xp service pack2

108 i have the same problem just go back into the registry a change the 0 back to 2 i'm guessing that was the number you had.

It puts your back to how it was before you get that message

MSOcache\AllUsers\90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9\YT561401.CAB

Thanks #69 I think it worled fine.

#69 worked like a charm!

Gracias al Nmero 69 y al nmero 22, la solucin que ellos aplicaron funciono para mi. Muy agradecido

#69 - good work fella.

Another victory for solution #69!!

Thank you very much!!

As with practically everyone else, #69 worked for me, but to successfully install SP1, I had to use the 'fullfile" version (73 mb), not the 18 mb (client) version. Thanks again for all the assistance.

can anyone give me instructions for changing my start menu button back to the large blue xp version of the button...i had my comp worked on and the start button is grey, small and stupid lookin... also the minimize and close boxes in the top right of all open windows are small...could use instructuions

Number 69 worked for me as I did not have the original CD

Wow! #69 worked for me! I didn't understand #22. But thanks to both you guys. I can't believe it was that easy.

Yes yes sir ree!!!! 69 is the number for me!!!!!

Thank you so much guys. Now not only my girlfriend loves #69. I bow to thee.

Oh, and for the person with the start button issue, right click on your start button, go to properties and choose the "start menu" option, insted of "classic start menu." Hope it helps.

Peace and carrots...

Well you guys , i'm so pleased for you - honest!!

But I am about to throw this notebook out tha window:

if I try (69)'s method I get as far as 11.0 but I don't get the Delivery sub-directory -

instead I get Common\InstallRoot and VerboseSetupLogging

There is a Delivery sub-directory that is subbed to Office, rather than 11.0 - but this does not have the parts (69) stated - no directory, no download code that is obvious. No CDCACHE, doesn't respond to right-click in terms of value options.

HELP HELP HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The solution between #22 and #69 works fine to me.

Marcio in #22 had the solution that worked for me. Go into Registry Editor (Start, Run, "regedit"). Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software, Microsoft, Office, 11.0, Delivery.

Parabns Mrcio #22, tenho certeza de que se trata de um brasileiro! Obrigado pela soluo!

#69 is my number! Im using excel again. Thanks!

Sixty-nine is mighty fine! Also thanks to #83 for the files I needed.

Post number 69 worked perfectly for me, and it is so simple. This really should be a knowledge base answer.

#69 was right on time. Thank you!

another victory for #69! you rock!!!

#22 worken on my machine

69 works (in any sense)

el 69 si funciona.... perfecto...

en mi pc viene preinstalado el office 2003, pero los cd's de instalacion quien sabe donde chin...gados estan....pero bueno....

Another good one for a combination of #69 and #83 solving my problems of installing MS Office SP1 Upgrade

thx for #69 it is so easy!!! thx

Yay for #69 and #83!!! Thank you thank you thank you!

Well, I consider my self very computer literate. I have an over priced master degree, IQ above 130 and I was so frustrated by this mess I threw my 400.00 palm in the pool, felt like an idiot (because I was acing like one) and surfed a while. I some how (thankfully) stumbled here via a google trip from some where else. And #69 worled for me also! Almost as good as phonics I might add! LOL!

Each time I tried to open Excell iot would say please get your cd for this file. i HAVE THE CD, but it was not on there. I have the product key code , no go! All of this from an update! I am scared to death to go back. Should I now that this works or what? Has anyone went back to the upate and tried it. i apologize if it is posted here, i stopped reading after everyone simply was thanking #69! Well, best i can tell his name is Marco from Brasil and REInvestor put it laymen terms for us all to enjoy. I do not like to mess with CAB files and the regisrty, bad experience once before but this was pretty safe.

Well, some one let me know if they ventured back to the update and installed it. This is how mine went kapoot. After doing a MS update for office 03.

I love my outlook now I can use it ASLO!

Go Brasil and GO Investor!

#69 !!!!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssss!!!!!

Zanks zanks zanks zanks zanks!!!!

69 your da one

thanks

Hurray for *69 ur the man!

Nikko's methods works for me.

After changing the reg, I'm asked for another cab, called m4561421.cab, I found it on google. Below is the URL for dowload:

http://219.141.36.146/soft/of2003/OFFICE11/

Thanks to Nikko again.

i understand #69 info but for some reason i have 4 directories under deliveries i changed all 4 to 0 but then i got error message 1131 what ever the h**l so if anyone can answer this one please e-mail me or post it

thanks alot now this is for all my office 2003 programs,

I also tried copying the necessary CAB file in the directory instructed...no go.

I tried to do #69 but I don't have that variable in my directory. I used to slam Mac users but since upgrading to XP I have to admit Bill Gates is one amazing person....being able to convince millions that his software is worth using....what's that saying???? "Who's more the fool....the fool who led you here of the the fools who followed?".

FYI I upgraded my BIOS in the hopes that it would improve my peformance and it did. Just wish software developers could produce a simple software even an unedumacated feller like me could use.

Thanks #142 for the web site, I needed to download PA561401.CAB but couldn't find it anywhere.

thx a lot #69

Ditto, #69 is the winner for me. I had two directories though, so I changed CDCache to 0 in both of them. Thanks!!

Muchas gracias al n 69, funciono y pude descargar el sku011.cab y abrir el archivo que necesitaba.

Mi problema es que an no puedo enviar e-mail desde outlook, presenta error de socket (?).

Si alguien me puede ayudar lo agradecera.

besos

e-mail, present error of socket, i dont know what is this.

please, help me

OMFG Thank You 69 you worked wonders if anyone is wondering it is very easy to do :D

thanks #22 for the great idea, and #69 for the right way you explain the path to reach CDCache! And even one year later, what you advise us to do is still working!!...but i still have one question: Why do we have to go into the system registry to solve that problem??...just to understand a bit how does it work!

thanks!

I have the CD's for MIcrosoft Office Professional Edition and it still doesn't find SKU011.CAB. Most of the files on the CD are zipped. When I unzip, I get a "Shitload" of files. I have just given up updating my Office 2003 software and run it the way it is. Excel is the product that get screwed up.

hola amigos

si alguien habla espaol, necesito ayuda para configurar mi correo terra con el outlook de mi pc, pero algo anda mal y al enviar un correo desde otlook me lo rechaza, me arroja el siguiente mensaje:

"fallo la conexion con el servidor.Error de socket 10061.Nmero de error

0x800CCC0E"

Y no he podido encontar el problema.

Agradecer cualquier ayuda o comentario al respecto.

gracias

katty

somebody are here???

#69 worked for me

Nikko's file almost worked for me, but I have got the professional edition and it seems that it is the wrong SKU011.cab file for this edition. Is there anywhere else I can find this?

For those who have problems with PA561401.CAB file, here is a URL where you can download the file http://ms1.cses.kl.edu.tw/~office7/office%20xp2003/

I hope that works for you :)

# 69 worked perfectly

Thank you!!!

#69 and #22.God bless ya

#69 did the business !!

Thanks

#159 tks!!!

#69 worked to fix the SKU011.cab problem but i faced a problem with yt561401.cab file... i found the following site where i was able to download and place that file into the msoChace...

http://install.ptah.od.ua/Office%20Utils/Office%202003/CD1/

check out #69: it's fantastic!!

Hello i tried #69s and i get the same as the other 2 people did (Mdos,something like that) when trying to reset the value @ zero, so i changed it back to value 2 and get the sku011.cab BS! again

I had that wack a$$ problem with sku011.cab and I followed the link to update Microsoft Office and my Excel now is fine. Thanks Dylan. The link to the update is:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdate/default.aspx

Thank you #164... was struggling with the #22/#69 solution until I loaded the IJ561401.CAB file into the msoChace/All Users/90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9 directory. The URL you gave had this file and it worked great. The trick was to load both the sku011.cab and IJ561401.cab files into the same directory. Otherwise, the sku011.cab file kept on deleting upon each attempt. Everything back to normal now... Whew!

Thanks a million #22,#69 and #164 that site is great, even tho its slow as heck... thanks tho, now i can get back to using word again, notepad gets a little annoying after a while

Thank you all so much. Just knowing that I am not the only person in the world that is having this problem was enough, but actually meeting people who have (touch wood) been able to provide me with a solution to this problem is fantastic! Youre all wonderful!!

check out #69 !!!

great work !!!

thanx alot !

do #69 and then do #83

great work thanx again guys

I have been using it when I have Corrupted dbx and Outlook express wont open. Outlook Express more stable and secure than other programs.

I must admit to being more impressed for Fix outlook express, Inbox repair tool and Dbx file recovery. I've even recommended it to all my friends.
