Error 1335. The CAB file is corrupted. Solved/Closed

Question

Error 1335. The CAB file 'OFFICE1.CAB' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This may be a network error, a CD-ROM read error, or a package-related issue. I struggled with this problem for 2 days. But once I unchecked the DMA boxes in the Device Manager/Properties/Settings for all drives, there were no more issues with the CAB file.

hourrrah · Accepted Answer

Hello,
It is about disabling the Direct Memory Access (DMA) controller.
Under XP....
Device Manager. Resource display
Click on the DMA controller.
Disable it at the bottom of the box...
(IMPORTANT....note down the steps to be able to reactivate the DMA controller later).

Best regards and talk soon

Hello Gap

Yesterday, I started to update my McAfee antivirus 6.0.
Everything went fine, then it asked for a reboot of the machine and there was a big problem: Windows starts but it takes at least 20 minutes to open (stuck on the Windows screen).
At that point, I uninstalled McAfee via "Control Panel" and "Add/Remove Programs".
I reinstalled McAfee with the CD-ROM and boom: Error 1335 the file "Data.cab" required for this installation is corrupted.
It's impossible to do a complete reinstallation...

HELP what should I do

Thank you for your help

I'm a beginner in computing so please give me a "step by step"

hourrrah · Answer

Zork7544,
.cab files are compressed files...
Check with a compression-decompression utility that supports this very common format to see if you can decompress this file...
If you succeed, it means the file in question isn't as bad as it seems...
To do this preliminary check, you can also use, in the DOS prompt, the extract.exe from DOS... ( .cab files = Microsoft compressed files).
Uncheck the DMA channels.. Clean your CD well and try again.
It's probably just a reading problem...
Otherwise, we will consider other solutions...

hourrrah · Answer

Hi,This means that one of the files needed for the installation cannot be read.. .cab file = compressed file.. It might be enough to clean the CD-ROM... If not, you only have to try to get another one from the software publisher... Good luck or good fortune and see you later ...He who goes slowly goes safely...

Indeed, I wanted to reinstall Office XP and it seems that this file is causing issues
I've seen that some people talk about unchecking DMA boxes. I couldn't find where that is done. Can someone help me?

Thank you in advance

It actually depends on the version of Windows you are using.

Do you know why when I try to install a game and when it extracts the files at the beginning it says: Zip damaged: file, Bad 'CRC' 13586ecb (should be 21f078e0). Possible cause: file transfer error..... it says this for every .cab file...

Winvince · Answer

Solution.... I have it... who wants it? If you have crappy errors like that Error 1335 the .cab file is damaged or Norton also acting up... it's nice and all... but it's annoying...  Solution... it's not a software problem, it's a hardware problem.... and if you want to know exactly what it is... it's not your hard drive I had this problem and tested all the peripherals... and had the same problem on other machines...  Solution... It's the RAM  You need to test the RAM and change it with a MEMTEST there you go...  Thank you... I hope you will take my advice into account... because I can tell you 100% that it's your RAM that's failing...  With the MEMTEST software do about 3 passes  minimum...  Bye!!! Winvince

Hi, I also have the office1.cab issue preventing me from installing Office on my PC. I don't understand how to disable the DMA box. Can you help me, that would be nice. Thanks

teutates · Answer

Hello,

I had the same problem. See
http://www.commentcamarche.net/forum/affich-285272-Erreur-1335-R%E9install-avec-fichier-CAB-impos

A brief summary:
I could never install MS Office because of this error 1335.

At first, I thought that the MS Office version was being rejected by Windows because I had a legal Windows and a pirated MS Office! Legalizing MS Office didn’t change anything.

Then, I realized that I could neither read DVDs properly nor copy files without crashing. Over time, it got worse when it came to copying files. Initially, large batches of files were uncopyable, but that size diminished drastically!

Finally, I had to test each component on another machine. And thus the culprit was the faulty motherboard.

Therefore, if you can, I recommend:
1) test the CD on another machine to see if it’s damaged,
2) test each hardware component.

Adissiats !-)))

kelkel · Answer

It's me again!
I disabled it like you told me, but the error "1311" office1.cab is still there. However, I uninstalled everything and started over, but it didn't change anything. Do you have a solution?
Thank you.

kelkel · Answer

Thank you for responding to my message, but I can't find the path you indicated to disable the option you mentioned. I can't find Local Security Policy in Administrative Tools. Where is it? How do I do it? Thanks in advance. If this could solve my problem, it would really help me since I need it terribly.

Hello! I had some viruses on my computer, so I completely reinstalled Windows XP; it was therefore clean, but the problem is that I can't install MSN Messenger because it tells me that my .cab file is corrupted. However, I downloaded other things afterwards, but for MSN Messenger, it blocks, whether it's version MSN Messenger 6.2 or MSN Messenger Plus, in short, no messenger. Thank you.

lapinotoma · Answer

Hey!  I also have problems with .cab files  every time for Office, Win 98 when I reinstall, and lately for MSN Messenger 6.2 (during the extraction of the files (cab), yet the install works on my other PC (XP, it's more manageable...)  1°) I tried the .exe command  2°) I tried restoring the registry via DOS  3°) I just disabled DMA in device manager, but now I can't find my CD drive and my burner in the device manager... damn...  4°) I just downloaded Memtest, but I stopped it, how long does it take??, but I'll let it run its test later   THIS is what could help me, it would be nice, because this might be the first site where I see people with the same problem as me, the other sites are very vague about these damn files, Microsoft!

Hello everyone!  Problem = ERROR 1335!!!  I want to install Microsoft Office XP Professional on my PC (Pentium 4, Windows XP Family, GERICOM 1.78 GHz)...  I tried to install Microsoft XP by copying the serial number and choosing the full installation from the CD-ROM drive and from the hard disk, but it refuses to install.  I also tried to install the custom version from the Excel, Word, and PowerPoint CD-ROM, and it works by installing several files... until it displays the message "An error in the installation source is damaged."  Then, from the drive, it shows the message "Error 1335. The CAB file 'OFFICE1.CAB' required for this installation is damaged and cannot be used. This may be a network error, a CD-ROM read error, or a package-related issue."  I would like to know why this problem persists and what the reason is? I tried unchecking the DMA boxes in the device manager, but I am unable to find the properties where I can do this...  Thank you for helping me as soon as possible!!!!!!!!!!!! DAVID.

Richard1 · Answer

Hello dear Hourrrah,  You're referring David to Post #50. I'm referring him to Post #49 for several different methods of solutions.  Are you not referring him to my Post #49 simply because the file is in English? He won't understand it?  He just has to copy the link I give him into Altavista Babelfish to get everything in French:  http://babelfish.altavista.com/  David just has to paste the link in the Web window and select the source and target languages in the dropdown menu just below. It's so simple.  My solution is Microsoft's (Bill). He surely knows what he's talking about.  Best regards Richard1

hourrrah · Answer

Re.. My friend Richard.., Exactly... The French are bad at foreign languages.. Curious but true.. Machine translators are quite quirky, the one you mentioned like the others... As for thinking that everything Microsoft says is gospel truth, I'm a hundred thousand leagues away from that. They are the biggest buffoons in the world... I'm very surprised by this idolatry on your part...  Best regards and see you later He who has no friends is not very lucky.

Richard1 · Answer

Hello friend Hourrrah,  I have already operated an import and distribution business in France for nearly 5 years.  I understood at that time that the French think of themselves as the center of the universe. I also worked in Ontario, Canada, and I realized that Ontarians think of themselves as the center of the universe.  I have traveled enough in the largest cities in the United States, among others, to finally understand that Americans think of themselves as the center of the universe.  Quebecers, it goes without saying, all think of themselves as the center of the universe.  In other words, we're fine, we're smarter than everyone else. Everyone tells themselves that.  We refuse to adapt or try to understand "the other."  English, the language, is known as a common business language. Refusing it to improve or to understand oneself borders on the ridiculous. It is not mandatory but...so practical.  Altavista Babelfish or reverso.com translate quite well for textual understanding.  As you say, it's not perfect, far from it, but clear enough for those who seek to understand. (If they want to, of course).  I see that you, Hourrrah, do not seem stuck to just one language. English does not scare you and...Italian seems to amuse you.  They say: Help yourself and Heaven will help you.  Finally, I understand why you suggested Post #50 instead of 49.  Regarding Bill, I do not idolize him but I have obvious respect for his qualities as a businessman. (personal fortune of 67 billion US $$$).  I am obviously not the only one who trusts him. We can hate him, despise him, want to get rid of him like the plague, but we must admit that he knows how to do business. His commercial success is so evident.  Maybe not you, but I admit that I would love to be in his place tonight and for the rest of my life. A fortune doesn’t change the world but....it makes things easier, ALL things.  I congratulate you on the word "gougnafier." Never in my life had I heard or read that word. Thank you: I'm constantly learning with you. You seem to have had a great education.  I repeat once again: We gain by getting to know you.  Thank you for your kindness and your evident expertise.  Respectfully  Richard

re..friend Richard, The success of Bill Gates and Microsoft is undoubtedly indisputable. However, all past, present, and future judicial bodies have shown, are showing, and will show that behind this success lies such hegemony that I deplore... As for the products released on the market, charging for them while they are insufficiently tested, turning buyers into unwilling beta testers, I find quite remarkable... And so on..etc..

david · Answer

Hi! Actually, I burned the CD that my brother had at his place... there might be an error in the burning of the CD. Do you mean by your manipulation that I should copy everything that’s on the CD to "PROGRAM FILES" (including the installation files)? Can you explain to me what this will change afterwards? I don't quite understand, sorry... Thank you! David

hourrrah · Answer

Hi David, The solution suggested by Joël is to reserve a dedicated space on the hard drive to put what’s on the CD To avoid any confusion, you don’t even choose an existing specialized folder like program files... For example, you create a folder on the root of C: that you call CD Office. You copy and paste EVERYTHING from your CD into this folder. And it's from the install or setup file in that folder that you start the installation...  Best regards and see you soon Chi non ha amici, non fa gran fortuna.

hourrrah · Answer

Re..David, This is the confirmation of the message you received with your CD.. It is considered that your CD or its content has imperfections... It may also be due to the fact that there is a protection that blocks this installation. If you are not too uncomfortable with English, I invite you to use the other solutions outlined on this page: http://www.kbalertz.com/kb_314810.aspx  Keep me updated Best regards and @+ Chi non ha amici, Non fa gran fortuna.

Hello everyone!  First of all, thank you for this topic because it's the only one trying to really address the problem, and thanks to everyone who takes the time to respond to the multiple SOS.  So, not surprisingly, I have the same issue with 2 games (San Andreas and Vampire: Bloodlines), both brand new and in good condition. It's not the drive, as I tried both and even a third one that I installed on my PC to check (XP Pro, 512 RAM). I disabled the DMA with no effect, I ran Memtest and there I got a lot of errors!!! What does that mean? Do I need to change my RAM sticks? Will that resolve my problems?  Thanks in advance! :)

Hello, I installed the Microsoft Office 2007 software three times  First PC mid-range: E6600 2.66GHz 2GB RAM --> installation from CD went smoothly and quickly  Second PC low-end: AMD Sempron 3000+ 1.8 GHz 700MB RAM --> installation from the file copied to the hard drive - slow but error-free  Third PC mid-range: P4 3.2GHz 1GB new RAM with a new HDD - installation impossible error 1335 damaged .cab file blah blah blah   I tried all the previously mentioned solutions but nothing works, the error persists.  My solution: I put the HDD from the third PC in place of the HDD from the first PC, installation went smoothly, just Windows reactivation.
