Hello,

it's impossible to launch Excel, an installation starts and an error message says the file PA561401.CAB is missing.
I downloaded it but in a Zip file, I extracted it but where do we put those DLL files?

Thank you for the help
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

    Where did you buy or download your Office 2003?

    Hi,

    http://melanthios-ana.com/zcvisitor/2c5637ab-3655-11eb-820e-1281dc17e827/72092e88-2c53-401c-b988-51ef43ce1034?campaignid=47f83760-f118-11ea-9bc8-0ac2bbf4ada7
    The location where it (PA561401.CAB) needs to be installed is usually indicated in the message that reports its absence.

    Hello

    I need to place the 23 DLL files in the specified location
    for your information, it’s the work PC that is malfunctioning after an update
    getting the disk is quite complicated, going through several services...
    I just want to know if I should put the files in the location indicated by the error message

    thanks for the help

    Hello

    my error message is:

    Error 1311. Source file not found: C:\MSOCache\AllUsers\90000409-60000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9\PA561401.CAC.
    verify that the file exists and that you can access it.

    my Office is an English (American) version since my company is an American subsidiary

    thank you

      Hello,

      Can you take a screenshot of the 23 DLLs (or list them for me)? I also have Office 2003. I will compare and give you the corresponding locations.

    RE:

    Cannot find these DLLs on my PC, certainly a version issue with Office 2003.

    I recommend checking Microsoft's troubleshooting methods regarding this:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/896301

    See you!

    too dangerous
    risk of messing everything up
    there must be a simpler solution

    ""Microsoft's way of doing things is too dangerous"
    Well, I've never heard that one before. :-)
    "Tampering" and trying to fix Office is certainly riskier, especially since it's a company PC and not a personal one.

    Don't you have an IT department that could provide you with the CD and fix Office for you?

    A+

    I didn't tamper with anything, I just wanted to update Office, which proves that updates only bring troubles
    and that it's better not to download any updates unless you want to mess up.

    Thank you, Mr. Microsoft, for your (not so cheap) software.

      Good Daninos,

      I will check this evening on my Office CD if I have the CAB file you mentioned.
      If so, I will send it to you (for example via www.cijoint.fr), you can put it on your desktop. When Office searches for it and cannot find it, you can point it to the path. Or you can place the .CAB file directly where Windows looks for it, which is normally under C:\MSOCache\AllUsers\90000409-60000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9

      See you later

      RE:

      I don't have it at home but... I found it on a website. Here is the link:

      http://www.knights-templar.com/FRONTPAGE2003/PA561401.CAB

      I downloaded it and opened it, no problem, it's indeed the thing you're looking for.

      Your turn now.

    Hi

    Unfortunately, it doesn't work

    I tried to put the files directly into:
    C:\MSOCache\AllUsers\90000409-60000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9
    I tried putting the 13 dll files in a folder called PA561401.CAB

    Still the same

    When I want to open Excel, a window pops up saying:
    preparing to install...
    Then another window opens
    please wait while windows configures microsoft office professional edition 2003
    Then it loads a little and bang, error message:
    Error 1311. Source file not found: C:\MSOCache\AllUsers\90000409-60000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9\P­A561401.CAC.
    Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.

    I've summarized everything to make sure we're talking about the same problem.
    I've never had the issue with the SKU011.CAB file

    Otherwise, I do have the dll files from the PA561401:CAB
    Confirm to me that these are the correct files
    They are listed above

    Thank you for the effort you're making to help me

      Hi,

      Just to confirm:
      When you go to C:\MSOCache\AllUsers\90000409-60000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9,
      do you see the file P­­A561401.CAB?

    Well, I don't understand, I gave you a link to download it (Post 15) and then to put it in the corresponding directory (Post 13) => Are you afraid to download it?

    See you later

    I put them where they were requested
    nothing
    it doesn't work

    Is my story clear to you??

    Hello

    I finally found

    the files:
    P­­A561401.CAB
    SKU011.CAB

    are ZIP files

    they need to be placed as is in the path:
    C:\MSOCache\AllUsers\90000409-60000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9

    it was just necessary to specify for those who might have a bit of trouble understanding
    for you it seems logical so you don't specify but we don't understand everything

    thanks again

      Hi again,

      I’m glad your issue has finally been resolved.
      Indeed, sometimes it’s so simple that we overcomplicate things :-)
      No problem, the main thing is that we were able to find what you were missing.

      I take it Excel is working perfectly now?

      Have a great day!

    Good evening, excuse me but I'm experiencing the same issue as you with the file PA561401.cab, it is missing.
    Could you tell me how you managed to find it for download and how you were able to install it?
    Thank you for your help.
