jmp59 · Accepted Answer

SUMMARY/RECAP OF THE SOLUTION

Start/Run. Type Regedit + OK
Follow to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Microsoft -> Office -> 11.0 -> Delivery
There you will find a directory like 90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9
Select this directory.
On the right side of the screen, right-click on CDCache.
And set the value to 0.

Sometimes a message appears like: Error 1311. Source file not found: D:\MSO Cache\All Users\9000040c-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9\PA561401.CAB.
The missing .CAB file should be searched in the following pages ftp://82.235.13.34/logiciel/Office%202003 & ftp://206.191.114.102/Microsoft%20Office%202003/OFFICE/
The location where it should be installed is indicated in the message reporting its absence.

Hello, Normally this file should be on the Office 2003 installation CD from which you should be able to extract it.

jmp59 · Answer

Hello,

This may be a bit more complicated than what I mentioned in my previous post. Here is what I found on a forum, in English;

SYMPTOMS
When you try to update your Microsoft Office 2003 program from the Office Update Web site or try to install Office 2003 SP1 from the Microsoft site, you receive the following error message:

Installation Error: File not Found
A required installation file SKU011.CAB could not be found.

Original Installation Source Required:

If you installed program name from a CD, please insert your CD. If you installed program name over your computer network, please browse to the installation source on your network. Once you have located your installation source, click OK.

CAUSE
This problem may occur if one of the following conditions is true:

- The Local Installation Source has been disabled
- Source files in the C:\MSOCache\All Users\90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9 folder are missing.
- The \MSOCache folder has been deleted.
- Office Source Engine File (OSA.exe) has been renamed to OSA.xxx

Even if you copy the SKU011.cab file from the Office 2003 CD to the C:\MSOCache\All Users\90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9 the error repeats and it deletes the file from the said folder while applying the SP1.

RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods when you receive the error message that is mentioned in the “Symptoms” section:

1. Download the Local Installation Source Tool (LISTool.exe) from the following location:-http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2003/journ/LISTool.htm
Install and run this tool.
Choose the option Enable LIS, Click Next.
Select the Office Programs you would like to enable the Local Installation
Source for, Choose Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003, Click Next.
Click Enable.
If it will ask for the Office 2003 installation files then, Click Browse, locate the Office 2003 program installation folder on your network or Office 2003 CD and then click OK.
A message box will appear confirming the update.

2. Rename the file name OSA.xxx to OSA.exe

It works!! Thank you

guillaume · Answer

Arg, I had the same problem, I did exactly what was mentioned above: change the 2 to 0, but when I open Word or Excel, I still get another error message asking for the file YT561401...  What should I do?  Thanks in advance

jmp59 · Answer

Is this indeed Office 2003? Is it immediately after the installation, or did Word and Excel work fine beforehand?

jmp59 · Answer

Missing .CAB files can be downloaded here http://www.joshhoppe.com/store/Office%202003/  The location where they need to be installed is indicated in the message that reports their absence.

hervé · Answer

Thank you.  I also tried reducing the URL.  I will follow your advice and sleep on it over the weekend.  See you soon ;-)

jmp59 · Answer

I found (better?) ftp://206.191.114.102/Microsoft%20Office%202003/OFFICE/

In fact, Josh Hope's document seems to be a copy of this one. But strangely, the .cab requested by Camille E2561404 is not listed there.

It’s not listed here either http://www.gegereka.com/?query=e2561404, another option to download these .cab files for Office 2003.

hervé · Answer

Thank you for your help. Your second link indeed leads to nothing, but the first one allowed me to find my .CAB. So... thanks again... But now I'm being told that this directory does not contain the file "QUICKANIM.PPT_1036". It does contain "QUICKANIM.PPT_1033", but not "QUICKANIM.PPT_1036". It's frustrating, isn't it? I've searched elsewhere but have found absolutely nothing. Do you have any tips?

jmp59 · Answer

Clarifications on the second link If we modify it to http://www.gegereka.com/?query=PA561401, it allows access to the download of PA561401.cab If we reduce it to http://www.gegereka.com/?query, we get a page that allows searching for the file by filling in the appropriate box.  this directory does not contain Which directory is it about? .ppt is a Powerpoint extension. If you can ignore that, it should affect neither Word nor Excel, but only prevent animations in Powerpoint.

jmp59 · Answer

I don't understand.  What you want to do is simply install the PowerPoint viewer?  Quickanim is a file used for animations but The PowerPoint viewer does not display diagram animations correctly. Instead of being animated, the diagram will appear as finished.  I found the executable that allowed me to install this viewer. It's Ppviewer.exe, version 6.00.2600.0000 (1.86 MB). I have Office 2000 and I do not remember having any issues during this installation.  How are you proceeding? Do you have Office 2003 installed?

dominique · Answer

Hello My initial problem: Excel refuses to open and asks for the installation CD of Office 2003, then the infamous SKU011.CAB. *****thanks +++ to JMP59 for the feedback and the follow-up My second problem is the MT561403.CAB (like Marie) ****thanks to Marie for this error: "Users\9000040c-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9\PA561401.CAB. Check that this file exists and that you are authorized to access it.", which helped me understand that I wasn't alone.  And now I'm stuck because the "file patches" xx.CAB don't take....  I consulted English-speaking sites and attempted a reinstallation through a Microsoft program. This led me to the setup.exe of office11. Just led me there because I couldn't find a setup.exe. So, being very stubborn, I ran all the xx.exe files of office 11 in "program files". And foolishly but miraculously, I clicked on "excel.exe" and it worked! Goodbye patches, downloads, searching for phantom folders... it works. dominique

OWI · Answer

Hello,

Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to use this link to download the MT561403.CAB file, which was no longer allowing me to open my Excell software. I also highly recommend using this method and placing it in the directory mentioned in the error message.

So good luck to most of you and best of success

Hello, Something strange happened with my computer tonight: unable to open Excel => unrecoverable error => installation error message: "unable to find the required installation file SKU011.CAB" WHAT TO DO

jmp59 · Answer

Hello,  Have you read the previous posts?  13  -- To err is human, to persist (in error) is diabolical.

nutz · Answer

Good evening Thank you for your response I have indeed read all the posts and followed the instructions in post 13 Unfortunately, during the download, a window appeared with the following message: "error 1311. Source file not found: C:\MSOCACHE\All Users\9000040C-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9\E2561404.CAB Check that this file exists and that you are authorized to access it RETRY CANCEL" Do you have any idea what to do at this point in the process? Thank you for your help

jmp59 · Answer

Unlike other cases of error 1311 encountered so far, the file E2561404.CAB is not located here And it seems to be unavailable on the Internet.  Run a search in c:\ to see if it might be located elsewhere on your hard drive. If that yields nothing, check if it can be found on your Office 2003 CD.  -- Errare humanum est, perseverare diabolicum.

nutz · Answer

Hello, E2561404.CAB is not found on my C:\ I don't have the Office 2003 CD installed by a friend Is there another solution besides reinstalling Office 2003?

jmp59 · Answer

I don't have the Office 2003 CD installed by a friend.  Are you sure it's a legal version? From what I've seen in the meantime on the Internet, it could correspond to an illegal version downloaded online. That would explain why this file is not on the Microsoft list.  -- To err is human, to persist is diabolical.

OK it's possible. I have an appointment on Saturday at noon to download the pack again from the person who installed it for me.

Hello! I managed to download SKU011.CAB but there is no indication in the error message about where it should be installed. Additionally, I have a problem with the path "start/run/regedit ...", the "run" menu no longer exists, just like the "search" command and maybe others as well. How can I "bring them back" without having to reinstall Windows? Thank you.

jmp59 · Answer

If you had read all the previous messages, you would have seen that there was no reason to download SKU011.CAB!  The only hope is to perform a Windows Restore to the point immediately before your problem occurred.  -- To err is human, to persist (in error) is diabolical.

Hello everyone. JM, I have carefully read the posts. My initial problem was with the file sku011, and now I have the same error message as Marie except that the file name ends with E4561404.cab. Where can I find it? What should I do? I absolutely need to use Excel to be able to work tonight.

Good evening everyone and especially to you jmp59!

Whoever you are, thank you for your good advice. I just read the three pages, I thought I was late, the first post dates back to 2005, but I see that the problem persists!

In my particular case, I think I was installed with a pirated XP, so all the manipulations you provided are of no use to me!
Notably, I can't open a Word page!

Nevertheless, I thank you for at least trying, and your solutions may not work for everyone!! Too bad!
In case you happen to know a solution anyway, I will check back tomorrow or in two days to see!

vdeux · Answer

Hello,  this error message is, in my opinion, some kind of "bug" that occurs during installations or reinstallations of the same Office pack or packs of different versions... in short, it's nonsense from Microsoft.  The solution doesn't lie in searching for the requested file on an installation CD (usually it's not there!) but in correcting the Windows registry.  Here’s the procedure:  *Start Menu - Run - Type "regedit"  * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - Software - Microsoft - Office - 11.0 - Delivery  * In "Delivery" there is usually only one directory like (900000040409-6000-11D3-8ef6546598797)  * Select this directory  * In the right window, you need to modify the "CDCache" key and change its value to "0"   There you go, the correction is simple and the result is instant, it was an Englishman who posted this on a specialized forum but I don't remember where...

Hello.  I have the same problem as you with this SKU011.CAB. Actually, I have several accounts on my computer. Mine is an administrator account while the other two are limited.  On the last limited account I created, the problem occurs. I don't have access to the registry as I should, and changes made in my admin account don't affect the issue.  That's why I'm in a bit of a deadlock and since my knowledge of computers is quite limited, I'm reaching out to you ;)  Thank you.

It's certainly very clear in your mind, but for me there's nothing to understand.  What is your CAB file? I understood it was SKU011.CAB, but I'm not so sure anymore.

I just wanted to say a big thank you because I had the same problem as others...

It took me some time to understand that the P2561404.CAB file should not be uncompressed!

But well, after an hour of reading this forum + searching for files and following your instructions, my Word 2003 is working again. I can start working again! Thank you 10,000 times, especially to jmp59.

Hello! A big thank you for the help, however, I have a problem as well. When I go into Regedit, etc., when I get to 11.0, I don't have Delivery... so finding the key is mission impossible.  Can someone help me? Thanks in advance!

Hello,  Another method, but significantly more complicated! The one mentioned in post 2.  SYMPTOMS When you try to update your Microsoft Office 2003 program from the Office Update website or try to install the Office 2003 SP1 from the Microsoft site, you receive the following error message:  Installation Error: File not Found A required installation file SKU011.CAB could not be found.  Original Installation Source Required:  If you installed the program from a CD, please insert your CD. If you installed the program over your computer network, please browse to the installation source on your network. Once you have located your installation source, click OK.  CAUSE This problem may occur if one of the following conditions is true:  - The Local Installation Source has been disabled - Source files in the C:\MSOCache\All Users\90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9 folder are missing. - The \MSOCache folder has been deleted. - Office Source Engine File (OSA.exe) has been renamed to OSA.xxx  Even if you copy the SKU011.cab file from the Office 2003 CD to the C:\MSOCache\All Users\90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9 the error repeats and it deletes the file from the said folder while applying the SP1.  RESOLUTION To work around this problem, use one of the following methods when you receive the error message that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section:  1. Download the Local Installation Source Tool (LISTool.exe) from the following location: -http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2003/journ/LISTool.htm Install and run this tool. Choose the option Enable LIS, Click Next. Select the Office Programs you would like to enable the Local Installation Source for, Choose Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003, Click Next. Click Enable. If it asks for the Office 2003 installation files, then Click Browse, locate the Office 2003 program installation folder on your network or Office 2003 CD and then click OK. A message box will appear confirming the update.  2. Rename the file name OSA.xxx to OSA.exe  -- To err is human, to persist is diabolical.

Céline · Answer

Yeah, it's progressing, it's progressing, thank you. I downloaded the thing, installed the thing, did everything, up to: If it asks for the Office 2003 installation files then, Click Browse, locate the Office 2003 program installation folder on your network or Office 2003 CD and then click OK. A message box will appear confirming the update.  And now, I don't understand anything anymore. I don't have the installation CD (sometimes I think that would have helped), and I don't know where to find the file/folder/program, anyway, the thing it's asking for :(  Why is computer stuff so complicated? :(

Hello,  I followed the instructions above and changed the 2 to 0. The problem is that now my computer is telling me the following: "Error 1311. Source file not found: C:\MSOcache\AllUsers\9000040c-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9\YT561401.CAB. Please verify that this file exists and that you have permission to access it."  However, this file does exist on my computer since it is exactly where I changed the value from 2 to 0. And I have administrator rights on my computer. What should I do?  Thank you in advance for your help!!

jmp59 · Answer

Well, this file does indeed exist on my computer I'm not so sure about that. It probably exists on the installation CD, but that doesn't mean it's been copied to your hard drive. And even if it's on your hard drive, it's not necessarily in the right place.  Have you run a search in Windows Explorer? Are you showing hidden files?  -- To err is human, to persist is diabolical.

Hello!!  I also encountered this problem this morning with Excel. But this post helped me a lot, I followed the instructions and now it’s working again!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! It also fixed another problem I had with Office: I hadn’t been able to update it with Windows Update for some time. All the Office updates were failing.  But I just tried again and now they’re working, my computer is finally up to date!!  A big thank you!!

alcab · Answer

I have the same problem with my CD for installation; I can't find SKU011.CAB.

jmp59 · Answer

You shouldn't push it.  If you can't figure out the solution to this problem by yourself in this discussion, you'll have to ask someone to come and do it on your PC.

SEBRAT · Answer

To follow up on the first step, the requested files can be found on the site http://ptrebier.free.fr/office%200003.  When the relevant file is located in the directory, upload it to the location indicated by the message displayed on the screen.  For me, it worked; I have regained the functionalities of EXCEL, WORD, and PowerPoint. Thanks to everyone who helped me through this forum, including those who created this site.

Having had the same completely stupid problem for 2 months, and although I have a paid version of which I obviously no longer have the CD 8 years later, I can confirm that the steps mentioned above work well.  The only problem may possibly come from the infamous missing cab file; you need to note its references carefully (not the same number for everyone) and search for it on Google (I personally found it on 4share.com) for free, of course. From there, download the zip file and without decompressing it, insert it into the correct folder (the path to this folder is indicated in the error message).  Thank you all.
