Trying to load my recently bought Office Home and Stedent 2007. I get less
than a 1/4 through when I get a pop up that states "Setup cannot find
proofing.en-us\proof.en\proof.cab. Browse to a valid information source.

I have searched through the internet, and while I have seen numerous issues
the same as mine, I have found no resolution.

Please help.

I had this same problem. Like you, I discovered lots of info about it
online, but no real solution.

I ended up searching my computer for "proofing.en-us" and then pointing
the installer to that location.

I wrote up more detailed instructions here: 'Solution: “Cannot
find Proofing.en-us” error when Installing Office 2007 |

I had to restore Vista on a Gateway PC.
Afterwards I was re-installing Microsoft Office Plus 2007 and encountered the same problem of "Proofing.en-us" not found. I would search for it and could locate on the installation CD. When I would cut/paste the folder path and submit I would receive "Invalid Path".

Fix:
I checked the CD (It had a slight gash on the very edge).
I cleaned the CD.
Inserted it in a second CD drive on the same machine and start the install again.
Worked fine that time.

I plan on making a copy of the CD if possible.
I do not know if Microsoft will replace the CD (but I am going to ask).
Good Luck!

It really is amazing that you responded to a post originally from 2007 and
the last post to the thread on your forum was posted in 2008. Like someone
there would care! And you still didn't give anyone any help by posting what
you did.

I know this is old ;but I wish it would have been here when i found this
as helpful tech site on the internet ! There is still a lot of people
trying to find an easy fix to this problem; maybe not on this site , but
this thread does come up when you look for this problem on the internet.
