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

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

Thanks #69. it works!

please,i dont speak english, but, i need help with my outlook, i can not send

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 !

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.

great job keep it up THANKS

#69 worked like a charm for sku011.cab problem

sku011.cab

Thanks Nikko、#168 and #69 ~~~ Orz

#69 only partially worked for me. I was then asked for L4561403.CAB which I found on http://www.cabforyou.nl/index9.htm. A really great source for all CABs. Yes, you have to pay a few EURO but well worth it. Other cab sources listed by other people here did not have the CAB I needed.

This blog/web site has saved my life!

Thanks everyone !

Hello ppl!

The #22 and #69 fix worked fine, but when I started a VSTO Word project in Visual Studio .NET 2005, I got the "1311 Error: Source file not found: PA561401.cab"

The links provided here do not work... Can anyone point me a place where I can find it?

Thanks a lot, guys!

Hope to hear from you,

So I tried number 69.  It seemed to work until it said that I need pro11.msi.  Where can I get that?

69 and 186 perfect match!!!!!!!!!!

use the following link. may be it solves your problem.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;875556

#69 worked, HOWEVER, installation is now asking for ZR561403.CAB.  Any ideas where I can find this file?  No luck on Google.

Thanks!

Upon further searching I stumbled accross http://tampa.mikeyv.net/diskcopy/Microsoft/Office%202003%20Pro/ which has a bunch of other .CAB files that people may need.  Thanks again #69!

#69 rules!!

Thank you so much REInvestor(#69)  and Vic (#203) for helping me

Thank you so much Vic (#203).you help me alot

Wow! #69, you rock!!

Yeah had the same damn problem. Yet to #69 it. Great info here though. Thanks.

thanks  #203 you're the best

The fix for the sku011.cab file is the file attributes, copy from the cd and put it on your desktop and change the properties (have read only and hidden unticked), point the repair wizard to the desktop copy and you should be fine, it may ask for further files - but that is because you have pointed the wizard away from the cd, simply point it back at the cd. all will be fine from there. The main reason is because the MSOCache folder in the c: drive has become read only, undo this and select all files and subfolders when prompted to also make them full access - (this will also fix your updating problems)

#69 & #83 solved it for me, cheers guys and thanks Dylan for the blog

Yowsa, 69ed it and no problems. Thanks all you guys for some great contributions here.

#69 is the best.  thanks a lot.....

Thank you #69... worked like a charm.

#69, you are da man!  You've saved me headaches on 450 machines throughout our entire district.

What a wonderful Blog!! Many thanks for this guys. I was having problems installing Office 2003 Service Pack 2 because both SKU011.CAB and PA561401.CAB were missing.  The fixes were provided by following the advices of #69 then #203.       Thanks to Dylan, REInvestor and Vic for resolving my headache.

#203 you rock!!!!

I did what #69 said but under the delivery folder I have two numbers. how do i know which one to change??

hey yall after I downloaded the zip file for SKU011.CAB what folder am I supposed to extract it to in order to fulfill the micro edition 2003 updates????

merci

SKU011.CAB FIX – IDIOT PROOF!!!!! 

Sometimes reinstallation in the only solution to this problem, but before that try the following…..please close down all windows sessions before executing the following method:-

1. With the error message on the screen (sku011.cab error), hit CTRL+ALT+
DEL
to get the task manager

2. Go to PROCESSES tab.

3. End the process of MSIEXEC.EXE under your user name. Please note there will be 2 MSIEXEC.EXE, one under system and one under your name or login name.

End the process for the one which is under your user name or else there may be future problems with the office.

This normally takes 30 secs and excel will be back to normal. No downloads or discs required my friends. The downside is that any excel docs. not stored on disc may be lost.

Good luck, Barry. – if this helps please reply to barry.mcneill@yahoo.com.

hey what am I suppose to do when I get this error message

Error 1311. Source file not found: C:\ MSOCache\All Users\900000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-01500-48383C9\PA561401.CAB. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.

Under my delivery folder doesn't have that number, how is this?

do I need to look for PA561401.CAB ?

#69 and #203  god work   

#221 look at the link on #203

If your missing a file that should of been in your Cache try one of these sites to find it

http://tampa.mikeyv.net/diskcopy/Microsoft/Office%202003%20Pro/

ftp://ftp.vgroup.ru/incoming/ or ftp://ftp.comgate.ru/incoming/ or http://www-ee.eng.hawaii.edu/~akers/Help/MSOffice_Update/MSOffice2003_Cabs/.index.html

69 you rockkkkkkkk!

I got the SKU011.cab error when I tried to start Excel after an attempt to install Office Sp1 update via Windows update. (I didnt have my installation cd's). This is the solution that worked for me. I used REGEDIT as suggested earlier and went to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >>MICROSOFT>>OFFICE>>11.0>>Delivery. Here I found two folders each named with a series of numbers beginning with 9. I had previously read that this shouldnt be the case and only 1 folder should be there, so I assusme this is why the earlier solutions didnt work for me. (I'm assuming these numbers are to do with product codes and microsoft's anitpiracy initiatives) Anyway now you have to go to c:\MSOCache\All Users and see the name of the folder that exists there. What i found was that the folder names in my registry entry didnt match the name of this folder, The difference was in the initial numbers so I modified the name of the first folder. (rightclick then rename) For the second folder I edited the CDCache key value from '2' to '0'. (righclick CDCache then click modify then enter the value in the 2nd field). When I tried to start EXCEL there was a new error saying E2561410.cab was not found in the c:\MSOCache\All Users\90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9 folder. So i now downloaded this cab file from http://www.goingbanking.com/Office%2003/0ffice%202003/ and copied this into the above mentioned folder. And then phew call it LUCK or GENIUS, Excel began on my next try. I hope this solution works. (Remember to backup the registry before modifying it, and enable the show all files options to view the MSOCache folder and files, and also set a system restore point for good measure.)

Hope this helps

Cheers!

#69 Thanks a lot!! MOLTES GRÀCIES :)

http://tampa.mikeyv.net/diskcopy/Microsoft/Office%202003%20Pro/

the link won't work!!!!

#223, neither do those two under http://tampa.mikeyv.net/diskcopy/Microsoft/Office%202003%20Pro/. do yall know where i could find a link like that??? I did put some effort but usually they don't have SKU011.CAB ... thanks

I actually tried #69 and fix BOTH numbers under my MSOCache, now it asked for PA561401.CAB, and since the link I posted above is closed does anybody know where else have missing .CAB files??

merci

Successful by following *69's suggestion.
The suggestion 12 months ago, become so useful today.

I am kind of in a rush to finish my report, so your contribution
is very much appreciated.

I needed yt561401.cab and had to buy it off of cabforyou.nl If you need this one, save the 5 euros and click here: http://www.cabforyou.nl/paypal/downloadthefile.php?file=YS561401.CAB&site=18&For=Microsoft%20Office%202003%20English&idnummer=308&tx=62X444239T2438419&st=Completed&amt=3.99&cc=EUR&cm=&sig=oVdrB1xvEVnzhEehlvBr7AMEfxwE6JUlBKNUENA3clTmZVk9QEcgKqqppMNFwS%2baNHOUek3d450vMTWLE5xYpDHi2tufq%2f3L7FDbfmOSiR5rLiGo2OiV09Dk2ue74GppX7UXzuS41Xa%2b%2fvjX8jc%2be44GCKj%2fVtbwJkeMyjwSJss%3d

Im kinda confused, i downloaded the .cab file but it was just a winrar directory with tons of other files in it, when I point my office to the folder where I extracted them (yes its the right msocache-->all users-->32894789324999 file) it says it cannot find the file yt561401.cab -- Which is true, there isnt an actual file called that, but the directory i downloaded was a bunch of little files and not a .cab file HELP

k, heres what you gotta do, search google for create cab file or something along those lines, I used acdzip, make the download into a cab file with the write name and add it to the folder. The next error I got was there was no opa11.bak in the folder, so I searched and found that you have to copy the file opa.dat from --- documents and settings -- all users-- application data --- microsoft -- OFFICE -- opa11.dat copy and paste that file and use your cab archive creator to add it to the previously downloaded archive. AND IT WORKS!!! ps) i can finally thank

thank you post #69!

# 69 worked perfectly. You save my life. Thanks a lot

#69 worked, thanx a lot.  We love you, you saved us from so much stress.

#69 worked like a charm, thanks very much REinvestor!!!!  Well done!!!!

oh my god thank u so much # 69 it worked guys this really works u guys should do this if u have the same problem worked like a charm yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss   thank u god  i love uuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Great Blog - 69 and 22 are living gods, and should be worshipped accordingly.

I changed the regedit value to 0 (see #69) then download and saved the SKU011.CAB file (through a P2P, though could use google - about 6mb). I then pasted this file (which may be a .ZIP or .RAR) directly into D:\MSOCache\All Users\90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9 (This location is normally on C:\). Remember, do not the extract the files contained in SKU011.CAB to this location, just copy and paste the entire archive.  Then do whatever you wanted to do and hey presto, everything works, no more CABs needed, and the world of Microsoft is at peace.

I downloaded SKU011.CAB from the link given by #203 and pasted it directly into D:\MSOCache\All Users\90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9.

Suddenly, Excel worked again - without having to change anything in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

Many thanks to everyone for pointing me in the right direction.

#22 and #69 shows how fix this problem,  but in "hkey_local_machine/software/microsoft/office/11.0/registration/90110416-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9" i can't see the field "CDCache" in regedit, any 1 knows why?

# 69 works.....Thanks

#69 works!!  Thanks a bunch!  You saved a lot of time!

Thanks to all the good advice above...I successfully added the CAB files but now MS Word won´t let me save or access any files in C or D drive.  I am denied permission.  I can only work within my documents.  Any thoughts?

Rodrigo,

Do you mean you can see the tree on the leftside but there´s nothing on the right side?

I am also getting messages saqying that Norton can´t analyze  for viruses.

#69  worked  it let me install microsoft sp2 but now it's says error 1311. Soruce file not found :D\MSOCache\allusers\90000409-6000-11d3-8cfe-0150048383c9\pa561401.cab verify that the file exists and that you can access it.   i can't find that file when i go into the file did 

 did i erase it by accident when i changed the value ffrom 2 to zero  can someone guide me i cant access any microsoft sofware pictures excel powerpoint publishers etc

Long life to Brazil´s #22 and to #69. The world owes you. Thank you.  A lot.

=)

TankXxX

Thank you SOOOOO much everyone , esp. #22 and #69.  I realize I am way behind with this problem, but I've been messing with it for hours and thanks to you I was finally able to get it updated.  Maybe I can finally sleep.  I've been up for about 30 hours straight, but when something is bugging me, ther's no sleep 'til it's finished.

Thanks again!

Beth

Well, I got that the right solution it's the one suggested by #22 and #69.But i have 2 questions:
1) Are you all sure that editing in the register(regedit) in that way is completely safe for the other applications of the computer? don't you think that editing could modify some other settings in someway?
2)In the folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software, Microsoft, Office, 11.0, Delivery. There should be only 1 directory to edit but i have 2 different folders with 2 different codes (maybe corrisponding to the 2 user accounts i activated on my pc). But,(and this is the strange part of my particular case), in the first account as administrator I created I didn't have any problem with Excel,Word,ecc. even if I haven't got any sku011.cab under the Msocache folder on that account. On the other side any other account (administrator too) that i try to create can't open Office applications. So what I will do? Is it better trying to download the sku011.cab from one of the link above or editing the register? Thanks a lot anyway

hey 220 i found all the cabs i needed on

http://tampa.mikeyv.net/diskcopy/Microsoft/Office%202003%20Pro/

once they have downloaded into your C/downloads folder , copy them to your C:\MSOCache\All Users\90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9 folder.

before i did this i followed 69s advice and that seemed to fix a few things, then i ran the detect and repair from my control panel/add remove programs and when it came up with those error messages, i just downloaded the appropriate cabs and it blimmin worked!  ive been having majors with my outlook and this fixed it.  you have to download about 5 cabs i think it asks for.  Hey 69, your a star and you too 203.  ive been pulling my hair out all day until i stumbled on you guys.  hope i have helped someone!

Thank, you, thank you, thank you, guys! Thanks, Nikko, your SKU011 solution by copying the thing in C:\MSOCache\All Users\90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9 (or whatever the number) was great! Now my hate for Office 2003 has turned into a mere caution. You saved me lots of trouble, thanks again. :)

HI guys, can anyone answer to the questions asked by  #254 ( Daniel) ? I need the same information and i have the same doubts...PLEASE, HELP ME! It's a matter of life or death!!congratulations for this site anyway. Henry

To me #69 seems like a temporary solution to a bigger problem (not sure what).  I'd recommend uninstalling/reboot/reinstalling office 2k3.  That has always worked for me.  Just a heads up tho.

#69 solve it for me!

Thankx a LOT!!!!!

Marcio offered the solution - #69 added the context (registry) - worked for me. 16 months on and still helping lesser mortals

Cheers guys

Thanks a lot to Marcio and ReInvestor about the SKU011.cab  : "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."

About PA561401.CAB Vic #203 solved the missing cabs with: http://tampa.mikeyv.net/diskcopy/Microsoft/Office%202003%20Pro/ . Than it was just saving the missing files into C:\MSOCache\All Users\90000416-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9 and the problem was solved!

Thank you sooooo much 69!!!!

#69 ROCKS

I see a lot of posts of manually placing files but for those who have for example a missing PA561401.CAB in their MSOCache and have the Office installation cd's. Microsoft has the LISTool, Local Installation Source Tool for download. with this you can enable, delete and move the MSOcache.

Reenabling the MSOCache worked for me maybe some others first need to delete the cache but for me just selecting enable was sufficient.

Here are some links:

I needed file sku011.cab to install microsoft equation editor, but now  i dont know how to make the installation program to recognize the file! :(

Matt

Wow!  Had to take a little info from lots of posts to get it to work for me.  The thing that was different for me was that I didn't do any updates or anything like that.  Worked yesterday and not today.  Went to Microsoft and they wanted $45 to help me.  And yes my software is legal.  Bill didn't make enough money last year so come on people we have to help him out.  Yeah sure.  Last time I worry about whether the software is pirated or not.  Used to care because if there is a problem...   Anyways feel kind of stupid.  Didn't know that you had to extract the cab files.  So make a restore point change the directory, download and extract the files into proper folder and worked or me.                                                                   

Thanks for all the help.  With sites like this who needs *^% Bill

my pc needs archivo   SKU011.CAB

Thanks,

#219 worked as well for me. Thanks for the help!

thank for work...

Thanks Barry .

# 219 worked as well for me. Nice stuff !

Thanks #69! It worked, just had to ignore an error...

Thanks a heap

hey guys, ive been reding this blog from start to end but ive got a problem not mettioned here yet, i first downed the cab i needed from #203, but then the following cab is also missing YI561403.CAB. ive searched all over but really cnt find it, any one got any ideas?

thanks

#69, THANKS A LOT MAN !

#219 THANK YOU VERRY MUCH. fOR ALL THE PEOPLE IS BETTER TO TRAY THIS BEFORE. ON MY COMP IT WAS WORKING. THANKS AGAIN

Go to my site, http://www.geocities.com/math_jerk/pa561401.html for the file, made my me so it WILL work! : )

Yupp, #69. re-explaining #22. But that will never cease to amaze me, how one simple change of a value from a "2" to a "0" can make a whole program work, or whole program fail.

hi,

plz send sku011.cab for my office 2003.

thx.

#69 saved my day!!!! Kudos to you!!!

#69 worked perfectly. thank you!

#69 !!!!! Perfetto.

1 minute to solve the issue. Thanks a lot 

Hey Crew I've followed all the advice but still cant get my Outlook to run

In following advice from #69 I see 3 directories under Delivery rather than 1

They are  :90110409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9 

                  :90170409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9 And

                   :903B0409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9

What I have in MSOCashe/All Users is 90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9.

Should I change 1 or more of the directories, and how?  Also which of the CD Cache should I change from 2 to 0.  I could greatly use anyone's assistance on this.

Also does the sku001.CAB every have to go into one of the specific files within MSOCashe/All Users/90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9

Thanks in advance!

It is possible the SKU011.CAB that I got from 203 is for Microsoft Office Home Edition 2003 and not Professional (which is what I've got) and that is why I can get it to work?

#69 solved it for me too !! many thanks

(69) YOU ARE A STAR!!!!!!!!

For those who followed post #69 but was followed by the error of having to verify that PA561401.CAB works, simply download the PA561401.CAB from this website: http://web2.g8s.de/hauke/Office/?S=A

It worked!  After spending 2 hours on this unnecessary problem, this finally did the trick.  Thanks #69 and long live CDCache Value 0!

I have checked all the CAB sites listed on this page (which has been a great help by the way), but now I am trying to find YI1403.CAB (not 1401).  It seems that all the CAB sites have the YI1401 but not the YI1403.cab -

any ideas anyone?

#69 Muchas gracias!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey I've got a problem with the OPA11.bak file which I didn't have any other problems previous to this during install.

Any help thanks a bunch!

#69 SOLVED IT FOR ME! Good work peop's.

#69 works!! Thanks!!!

Thanks so much for the solution in #69. The color of Excel did change though, im wondering how i can change it back... In the meantime atleast im using Excel.. Thanks again!!

Sim!!! 

#69 é a solução!! 

Apenas gostaria de ter percebido o que na prática foi feito

Thank you #69.

It worked for me.

terima kasih..........

I found a solution for my problem.
I changed the value of CDCache in setup.ini to 0 (it was 2)
regedit --> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Delivery\

I found three directories for downloadcode and changed the values of CDCache for all of them to 0.

During installation of additional components of office 2003 (required after sp2 installation)
 it didn't complain about sku011.cab anymore but about another file which was not in the directory '
D:\MSOCache\All Users\90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9': yt561401.cab

After I downloaded this file and placed it in the above directory the installation proceeded as it is supposed to.

NOTE: I am not an expert myself and I have to tell you to be cautious editing the system registry,
 I found this solution on another forum and as more people experience this problem,
 I figured it might help someone if I'd put it here as well.

Enjoy!  =)

changing cdcache=2 to 0 did the trick.

i contacted ms for this problem, but they did not offer any solutions; onlything they told me is that tech support is limited to 90 days, and since first 90 has been passed, i have to either solve it by myself or pay them another 199usd for extended tech support.

with the all the resources ms has & the amound they received ( i paid more than 350usd for the lousy suite), and they don't even want to fix this simple problems.

just wtf is cdcache?

ms should be punished for their farking lousy support & price; i am thinking about selling my copy as i found openoffice.org is more than i need & free

hell is with ms :(

Excel 2003 was running fine on my system, but the next day I tried to open it, it was asking original CD to download "sku011.cab". I was surprised how it could miss automatically.

Then I tried to search the root cause on internet, although I was not able to find the cause but got the solution from this blog site.

I went to registry at regedit --> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Delivery\
I found two directories for downloadcode and changed the values of CDCache for all of them to 0. I changed the value of CDCache in setup.ini to 0 (it was 2)

Immediately I tried to open Excel and it worked fine.

Thanks

Thank you so  much  REInvestor !!!! You solve the problem for me with your clear instructions!  The SKU011.CAB headache is now gone. God bless you my friend!

# 69 worked like a charm!!!
Thank you  -solved problem on 23 April 2006

I just read this entire blog and I wouldn't feel right closing the window without giving a shout-out to #69, even though i didn't use his advice.  I fixed my .cab problem with the suggestion from #219.  Thanks dude

Thanks guys  - the advice on 69 really worked for me.  Having tried so many things I'd given up until I visited this website....

Thanks

Many, many thanks to Marco and REInvestor for #22 and #69. I'm getting there....

Now I need to locate a site where I can download TR308222.cab. None of the links above have contained it so far.

If anyone can post a link that would be great, I'd really appreciate it.

Many thanks again.

regarding #318 ...

I managed to locate and download TR308222 and extracted it to the directory prompted by the error message. But I've now run detect and repair again and the same error message is coming up.

Can anyone help????

Thanks in advance.

In case anyone needs this file I located it at macssuck.biz/dl/fp2003/?C=M;O=D

I didn't trust that so went and bought a version from www.cabforyou.nl

They both looked the same! So hopefully the free one is OK.

Damn thing still doesn't work A bit more detail on #319 ...

I extracted and saved the TR30822 download to C:\MSOCache\All Users\90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9 and re ran detect and repair in Word (that's the application I'm having problems with - it won't Save As)

But the same error message keeps coming up.

Tearing my hair out so am now downloading open office instead.

I should have read # 238 more closely. When I moved the zip file (i.e. without extracting) into the folder detect and repair carried on ...

... until it got to another missing CAB file. This time YA561403. I downloaded that from the first site I mentioned in #320 and moved it (again, with no extraction) into the folder.

Detect and repair finished the installation successfully.

Yippee! I thought.  Closed Word and reopened it. Opened a document and clicked Save As. It froze AGAIN. So I'm back to square one. I'll try rebooting before starting investigating again ...

Open office (www.openoffice.org) is free and great, btw. At least I can now make any changes to documents in that application and then save them as a Word file.

Rebooting sorted it


Word working properly again.

Quote #69 REInvestor

"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."

Worked for me.  I quoted it above to prevent injury to everyone scrolling finger.

Hi all,

i downloaded the pre version 12 of microsoft office and this registry artwork worked fine with it as well. After installation it shows a missing dll file but i hope this case will be solved after the surgery by 69. By the way try version 12 cause its worth of trying and exceptionaly enhanced. Take care all and best of luck for all the future versions:)

# 352 YOU ARE GOD !

I''m trying to install french language and I have message that I  don't have a file - sku011.cab! How can I find it?

THANKS!

I''m trying to install french language and I have message that I  don't have a file - sku011.cab! How can I find it?

THANKS!

JCJDOSS (post 367 in red), you are a God.  I wasn't looking forward to the long winded approaches mentioned above.  Setting the key to "0" as you say, works a treat.

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.

Recomend to everyone to try this method first.

Oops, spoke to soon.  Worked fine until I reboot machine and it is broken again.  Maybe you're not a god, but a plastic statue instead  :-).

I have the solution for sku011.cab             === drum roll ===


change your desktop wallpaper ,  lol

kidding, the solution is to download Morpheus search for the file sku011.cab (5.99mb) and replace it with the in the office folder, as th original is broken .


it should work

Thanks #69.  Years later and your advice is still helping people.  And thank you to the kind folks who post these stupid cabs!  I had to chase down another one after the sku011 request went away but the advice and links posted here were enough for me to solve my problem.

I'm finally up and working and happy.  Yay!

THANKS #69.muaks

Well done #69. That advice solved problem - so simple. Thanks.

#69, Worked great for me, thanks so much I am on road and have nothing with me.

I tried #69 but still Excel prompted for PRO11.MSI so I downloaded it from #186 and still it said it was not a valid Office Installation File...

So I tried a bunch of things (including messing up with the registry and almost rendering unusable the whole office suite) and here are the solutions that worked for me, try them in order:

1. Simply go to Start > Run ([windows key]+R) type "excel /o" and excel will repair itself.

2. If still that doesn't work for you, there is a chance you will be able to start excel doing the following:

- Start excel as you normally do (the instalation program will prompt for whatever missing file)

- While having the window that asks you for the location of the missing file opened, type[windows key]+R and run the command: "excel" and the application will start, just cancel the other instalation window and voilá! you will have a runing excel

The shortcomming of this is that you have to do the procedure every time you want to open excel.

3. go to Start > Run ([windows key]+R) type "excel /?" and you will have two excel instances starting up, one will do so normally and the other one will prompt you for the missing file(s), just cancel the bad one.

Hope any of these are useful for you.

google.com > search for this: (including " ")

"index of" sku011.cab

that will bring up directory listings including sku011.cab :D

I think it is a neglect on the part of microsoft to release a version of their product with the bugs in it they have too large team of experts on the stuff to consider the option of not having enough time or resources to do the job right from the first time.

a different sort of sku011.cab problem. I want to export a CSV version of my contacts list from outlook 2003.   I  get " sku011.cab... file not found" .  wil the 69 solution work for me? I dont wnat to start fiddling with regedit until I know more.

The #69 solution didn't work for me... My problem is that i want to install importer on my ms-wordfor it to open some kind of a file..I tried to use repair of ms-office-2003...But it didn't work and asked for sku011.cab which it said was missing...I dont have my office-2003 installation cd with me...Could any one help me out with this??

#379 thanks it worked for me

I need the blasted sku011.cab file.  If some one has a working link please email it to me, I would be greatly appricated.  Thanks in advance

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...

After almost 2 years #69 still works. Cannot believe that after all these years the Microsoft guys still cannot get their act together on this. Thank you no. #69. Hopefully the rest of the stuff works fine.

Just thought I'd say #69 ROCKS!!! Thank you so much!!!!

Hi, I tried both #367 and #380. The first was great to make it free of the file and the 2nd helped me to find the file (which I didn't use it). Thanks very much

Definitivamente, no hay de otra, el 69 aparte de ser un numero que se presta para el albur, fue una solucion al problema. Saludos a todos. Tengo que seguir trabajando.

Let me add to the chorus. #69 worked for me as well. Thanks!

Yep, no 69 worked for me also.  I had two folders appear in my delivery folder, so I selected the top one and changed the value to 0, and it worked fantastically!  Many many thanks!

il faut télécharger aser et pour ce faire il faut aller  au moteur de recherche google et taper telecharger aser! apres avoir telecharger ce dernier il faut l installer! une fois  c est fait il faut mettre SKU011 dans la case SEARCH et lancer la recherche :apres avoir vu sku011 il faut tout selectionner et aller en haut vers DOWNLOAD!pour avoir sur sois le fichier cab recherché il faut ouvrir TRANSFERT puis ouvrir LOCATE FILE et vous aller le trouver! bonne chance

j ai voulu dire telecharger   ARES

vous aller trouver sku011 facilement en faisant usage a  ARES c un moteur de recherche puissant qui partage les fichier avec les autres sans que ces derniers aient une idée  apropos de ca! j ai fais la meme procedure et ca marche tres bien!!! www.google.com puis  telecharger ARES recherche + installer et c parti bonne chance

Does any one can help me to solve this problem. This error message appear when i was try to install Office 2003 Web Component.

Error 1311. Source file not fount :C:\.........\PA561401.CAB. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it

This method works well with my computer. Of course, you can try it.  

- Go to this folder : D:\MSOCache\All Users\90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9

- Run file: PRO11.MSI   Select " Detect and fix error." in pop-up dialog .

- We need  a few file to operate. Copy them from CD( There are in root directory and hidden.) and paste them in D:\MSOCache\All Users\90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9

- That should work well now. 

for L4561403.cab

go to: http://soft.tsch.us/MICROS~1/MSOFFI~1/OFFICE/L4561403.cab

might not be around long, but the file is good.

OMG! #69 worked! Thanks a lot!

69 Worked great for me too!!!  Thanks a lot

However, I have 3 directories under the Delivery folder?

Thank you 281!  Spent lotsa time just to find this file!

Marcio(a.k.a #22) and REInvestor(a.k.a #69)... thanx a bunch...my problem was that I was making a new user profile and copying over from the new one.. The Office apps. seemed to work fine in the new profile but everytime I tried to do something in any Office application, I would get an annoying message saying SKU011.CAB not found and reinstall using the CD( which I no longer have). Changing the value to 0 worked out fine...

Thanx

(typo) copying over from the old user profile....sorry abt that

here is a torrent that has everything

http://www.torrentz.com/torrent_962726.html

This worked for me,

Go to start then programs then click on 'New Office Document' then

click on Bank Workbook, when it opens you will start getting the microsoft

installing window. Just keep hitting cancel and it will bring you to the excel

window. Go to file, new excel document and just enter anything and then save

it as anything. Close excel and then open that file you saved. When it opens

you will start to get different errors, just hit ok and then you won't have the

problem again.

Thank you #352 and #69 saved. Thank you thank you thank you!

trying to open office in a new user caused SKU011.CAB Error.

#69 and putting SKU011.CAB (which I downloaded from emule) to C:\MSOCache\All Users\90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9\ solved it.

 I had to unhide hidden files to view the directory.

 then the PA561401.CAB  Error occured.  downloading it from # 281 and putting it in the same directory solved it.

Thanks a lot !!! great forum.

393 second link works 100%

Wait, where do I put the PA561401.CAB file? I just can't find the source you are talking about.

393 fixed my problem. Thanks  a Million!!!!

Wow ! Just Grrrreat,

It's easy as A B C you saved my day,

Loads of  thanks for # 22 , # 69 and # 367 for making me feel like a Pro myself ( oops ! )

Cheers #69 you are a star :)

#69 works!!!

Thank you very much!

Hvala ti puno!

#22 & #69 worked just fine - thank you, thank you, thank you thank you, thank you

Oh, and BTW, thank you!

# 393 worked! thanks!!! i can't believe that microsoft still has not come out with a formal solution for this.

#22 and #69 worked for me too. Thanks so much.

Why is there not a link to download this gd sku011.cab file somewhere????

You'd swear it was a national secret or something..

ditto

comment 22 and comment 69 really worked for me for that sku011.cab. Thanks

#379 worked just fine. A simple solution to this irritating problem. when #69 didnt work I was very dissappointed. #379 you made my day. Thanks a ton!!!!

Sir ,

I have Microsoft Office 2003, i just installed it , when i open this, system says that  "SUK011.CAB" is not found and programme ran with problem as installing file , than file is not found .. etc.!

please solve my problem and provide me SUK011.CAB file . I will be thankfull to you..

With regards :

Rahul (India)

#69 and #22 Worked for me. Thanks you guys rock!!!!

Can u tell me where I can find 'setup.ini' and change 'CDCache = 0' ...as # 22.
I really don't know where such 'setup.ini'. is.

Check http://www.technotes.co.uk/sku011-cab.
Solved my problem immediately, without needing any files.

# 69 worked like a charm!  #455 above is the same fix.

Thanks!

Here is the steps for others:

Solution below:

Regedit (start menu -> run -> type regedit)

Expand 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.

i tried #69, then it demanded another CAB file (E2561404.cab)
then i downloaded yt561401 and placed it with sku011 (MSOCache ...) but  it didn't work
eventually i tried #379, the simpliest solution : start  ,   run  , excel /o   and that was OK
thank you  #379

Same problem here, but it only would happen to one user.  Anyone else logging into the pc worked fine.  But #69 fixed it for the one with the problem.  Thanks!

#69 ... it is so simple .... thank you...

i have update office sp2 and PA561401.CAB .....if enibody need to install office sp2,mail me....thanks to #69

Pa561401.cab

That's the file I was missing, apart from the sku011.cab.

Took me many tries before I thought of checking the logfiles in my \TEMP dir. It was all in clear text.

"bla bla bla this file is missing ..."

So I just downloaded that off http://www.joshhoppe.com/store/Office%202003/ and the install went fine Btw, I was stuck trying to install MS Office SP2. Now when the SP2 is installed it found new updates, downloaded them and they are installing right now.

On another note I should say that I had 3 directories in my registry. I deleted 2 of them and edited one. Luckily the "right" one was recreated so I could edit it again.

There, Office was updated again through the autoupdate system. Worked like a charm!

good job #69

I found my dads old scanner the other day and i plugged it in expecting it to work, yet i need the sku011.cab file. Now i dont have a clue what or where to find this as i'm only 15. Does anyone know how to help me without the technical computer language? I'd be extremely grateful :)

Okay, so far, I haven't gotten it to work yet but I'm in the process. Slowly, I've been downloading the needed CABs as my computer says they're missing. The site I'm getting them from is:
http://tampa.mikeyv.net/diskcopy/Microsoft/Office%202003%20Pro/
I'm not exactly sure which post I got the link from but I think it's #211. So far, I've had to download 7 CABs but I'm assuming that I'm going to have to download all of them.

The method I tried is one that I created by gathering the main ideas from everyone's posts. First, I try to run whatever I need so that a pop-up tells me that I need so and so CAB. I download the cab from the forementioned site and save it to some folder. It really doesn't matter which because you're asked to direct it to the folder containing it, or rather at least I am. Then, on the pop-up, click retry. Repeat until all the appropriate CABs are downloaded. I'm still in the process of downloading CABs so I'm not entirely sure what happens after but I'll keep you guys posted. :]

My bad. The real site I used was:
http://joshhoppe.com/store/Office%202003/
Also, I got this from post 464. Thanks a bunch "savior" of 464.

#69 totally worked for me - Thanks a ton!!

ignore all the errors

number 69 pure genius Thank You

Where precisely do you put the folder containing SKU011.CAB once you have downloaded it in order for Microsoft to acknowledge it and for it to work?

Via #69, I either did not enforce it correctly, or it did not work.

Once you change the # to 0, then what?

I downloaded SKU011.CAB from http://www.joshhoppe.com/store/Office%202003/

If anybody has an answer that is logical, please email me at the email I provided:

lotrismylife@yahoo.com

Thanks!

I had lost Excel for a while, found this site after an extensive search, and discovered that #22 and 69 were on the money BUT I also set my Default (previously unset) to 0 as well and everything is working fine again.

I have deleted the OPA11.bak file and now office 2003 does not work.  Can anyone help??

Thanks in advance.

When i run any office program i get an install features box. Then an error comes saying it cant fine the opa11.bak file. So if anyone knows where to download this please help.

ajay (#516): Thank You! You're a genius...

can somebody help me...the SKU011.CAB is missing from my laptop and i dont have the  installation cd..tried un-hiding all the c:/ files but that dint help either...only excel seems to require this file coz all the other office programmes are opening fine...

 tried #69 but have two codes under the delivery thing...

516...... i love you!

See this is what I did, and it solved my problem.

Searched for SKU001 in my H:/ where I put my Office 2003 installation disc. It provided me the location, H:/OFFICE11

I ran set up of Office 2003; when it asked for the file, I gave the location mentioned above. and VOILA, it was done.

Ha Ha... I am not a techie like you guys, but see, the problem is solved.

The philosophy: KISS... Ah, well, I use a pirated version of Office 2003

Cheers, Aseem

Problema  SKU011.cab  Problem

Solution for this problem in English and Español... Solucion para este problema en Español and English

In English: If your Office 2003 is asking you for the infamous SKU011.cab, run the program REGEDIT and then go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/OFFICE/11/Delivery

Then, in the registry "CD Cache" change the value from "2" to "0" (Zero) and problem solved. It won't ask again for the SKU011.cab

En Español: corre el programa REGEDIT y vete a:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/OFFICE/11/Delivery

en el registro "CDCache" cambia el valor de "2" a "0" (cero)....y problema resuelto....no volvera a pedirte el sku011.cab de nuevo

You saved me  #69 - 2 years later! Thanks!

Thanks Alfredo, it worked.

thanx a lot - 69 - super easy and working! thank you again :)

I tried #69 but it didnt work for me...i dont have "delivery" under the office,11 directory.

Somebody plz HELP

#22 and #69 worked for me !! Great guys, you are the champions!!!

Thanks

Thank you 69 and 164 , I might add that file ZS561401.CAB was also needed and was istalled in MSOCache. All is well now.

It works!!

Dear Nikko_Frenchie (#49) and REInvestor (#69),

Thank you very much!

You are geniuses!

SKU011.CAB,  don't have file, can someone same me some time and money??

Do it as (69),and that will be OK.

So this is how I solved my problem:

did #69 (not with my girl),  then #168

then I got  a new error message: "outlvba.dll is not a valid Office Add-in"

so I did this :  assuming that you are using outlook 2003, outlvba.dll should exist at
\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\ADDINS. Assuming the file is
there, it could be corrupt. If this is the case, you can rename it to
outlvba.backup and then try doing a detect and repair on Office via the
add/remove applet in the control panel. This should bring in a new copy of
the file.

http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:TeXKkrODyMEJ:help.lockergnome.com/office/outlvba-dll-valid-Office-ftopict696377.html+outlvba.dll+is+not+a+valid+office+add-in&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=firefox-a

Then I got a new message again:  "OLE registration error occurred"

then I went to Microsoft repair again.  this time it asked for more missing files, so i went back and did #69 again and put in new files.

this website still works for missing files.:  http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:y6xrYwrmip0J:www.joshhoppe.com/store/Office%25202003/+%22index+of%22+sku011.cab&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=firefox-a

ok so I hope this all makes sense but thanks to all that help me!!!!!!

finally after literally 6 hours on the computer, I fixed my damn problem!!!!!!!!!!!

you guys are awesome!!!!!

AND SERIOUSLY HOW COME AFTER 4 YEARS, MICROSOFT STILL HAS NOT FIXED THIS PROBLEM?????  OR SHOW US HOW TO FIX IT ON THEIR SUPPORT SITE?????

WWW

thank u #69   

The fastest way to cure SKU011.CAB missing errors is to use our website.  We created a tool that can help you remedy this issue very quickly.

http://www.zone-x.com/sku011

Also, when installing Microsoft Office - ALWAYS - ALWAYS - ALWAYS choose COMPLETE INSTALL when given the choice.  We have found it cures nearly 95% of the problems that come up in common everyday use.

Best wishes to all!

#69- you are the man. I had an error installing word 2007, and clearing the cache fixed it. Thanks.

http://www.free-toplisten.at/listen/9530/

I am experiencing the same problem with Excel, except #69 is not fixing the problem! I have four items in my Registry, and I have tried many combinations of their original values and zeros and it still isn't working!

I don't want to delete them without backing them up, but it's not really giving me that option.

Any suggestions??

That MS 2003 Hoodlum "missing Skullcap" I stumbled on the MSOffice "skullcap" message after running E.E. V.5 (good software, but now pre XP release). Since I am an ex. Apps. programmer, now in education and use a network of PC's it was easy for me to copy the whole MSOCache - 290 (yes 290!) Megabytes from another computer to another and then let the MSOffice 2003 installer, churn away with its whinging prompts till the whole Office suite had been re-installed. I think the problems of skullcap, as posted here broadly divide into 2 categories - those who have done an upgrade, and thereby made one or two files invalid or incompatible - and others who have accidentally deleted some or all of the MSOCache. There are some 100 or so .cab files in the MSOCache, and every missing file message is asking for a specific system file - no bullshit. The rather ingenious but cranky "#69 fix" to turn off the CDCache key (from 2 to 0) is like to putting an elastoplast on ones toe to fix ones elbow. You need a full range of system files if the application is not to fall over at some stage. Yes I know that changing a reg. key does a temporary fix on some machines - but not on all! Personally I think the MicroSoft corporation ought to support all of these files on its download page, like any other good consumer supporter, since not everyone has multiple computers of the same brand as network administrators do. It would be rather nice for MS to support those people who are paying their rent. If not I can not think of any reason why all new computer purchasers should not switch to free Warez versions of the same program suites to reduce costs. A final word then, be warned by one missing file message, it will probably ask you for another... then another... then another (and if you do not break off soon you will die of exhaustion). Hope that clarifies things just a bit. Do back up MSOCache and put a wrapper round the whole directory, like Zip or Rar to prevent EE or any other memory scrubber from accidentally erasing its contents. Cluz So I conclude the 113 error message is asking for another file - and if you have one then you'll have another - and i stake my wig that if you do not break off soon you'll die of exhaustion

I love 69   

Kudos to #69. This solution worked! Gotta blog this martyrium.

Thank goodness for #22 and #69! I was able to get all the programs working without the file, but I was getting so annoyed whenever the little "Preparing for installation" box came up and I would have to continue to X it out. Now it's fixed!

Please for me the file SKU011.CAB

Thanks

#69 is my hero.

mi office no funciona (2003) me pide el archivo skuo11.cab ¿que puedo hacer?

The numbers 22 and 69 are NOT working for my machine!  Any suggestions?

After much research I have found a temporary fix!  On your pc do a search for windows genuine, it will bring up this file, then right click and choose REMOVE.  This worked for me but it obviously was a windows update.  It will be tricky to work around it the next time I need to update.

I've been tried for a day and there's still nothing for all solution.

Now I'm trying my last hope "Index of file name"

http://yamadaserver.dip.jp/CDs/Office2003/

above there is the web-site for program download that still available.

you may try out to find the missing from it !

#69 strikes again. also a quick not i had several folders under the 11 dir in reg edit just choose the first folder then right click on on the metioned entry #69 talks about. it works just fine. no cd's needed for this

THANK YOU #69!  Your solution worked for my sku011.cab problem.  I love how the computer just up and makes a problem.  Bless you for posting the solution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://pauschalbuchen.gratis-server.de/

http://heissefotzen.fateback.com/

http://www.nacktebilderlive.com/

I tried # 69 and it didn't work for me but this did the trick!

Looked at the Application log from the administrative tools in the control panel.

Found this error:

"feature 'InternationalSupportFiles_JPN' failed during request for component".  This means it was trying to install Japanese fonts.  If you're not getting the same error, at least it may give you a hint on what it's trying to install, so be sure to look in the error log.

Next I went to add/remove programs in the control panel, and located the Office 2003 installation, and clicked on "change"

Next I selected add or remove features and clicked next.

Put a check into "Choose advanced customization of applications", and click next.

Located the "Office Shared Features" group and expanded it.  Then expanded the "International Support" group.

I then changed the Japanese font from "Installed on 1st use" to "Not available".

Click update, then when it's done click ok, and you're done.  After I did this, it didn't ask me for install files anymore.  If you try this first and it still asks for install files, try #69 then because the install could still be in the cache, and you'll have to clear that too.

Good luck!

Thanks no 69!!! You helped me out too.

I have the same problem as #585. 

Fixing using #69 solution  helped for excel, word but I still keep getting the Windows Installer popping up. Then when trying to open MS OUTLOOK I get the "PRO11.MSI" file missing. 

I downloaded the "PRO11.MS1" file but it does not seem to help.

j

#69 then i needed the ij561401.cab file which i found here:

http://files.filefront.com/IJ561401CAB/;7979754;/fileinfo.html

i jsut downloaded it to my msoChace/All Users/90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9 directory folder and everything was good again.

Thanks all.

#69 works for me.  Revised text.

 Go into Registry Editor (Start, Run, "regedit"). Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software, Microsoft, Office, 11.0, Delivery. Under Delivery, is your DownloadCode (mine was 90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9). May be more than one code. Select that directory. On the right side of the screen, right-click on CDCache. Change the value to 0. If there is another directory also change its value to 0. Reopen the application and it will start the install process again and it should then finish and work now. This worked for me, but be very careful anytime you edit the system registry.

hi, Thanks for the help, It really works fine
