Dialogue Box Message 'cannot find office.en-us\officeLR.cab

[CliveP]

We have Windows XP and MS Office 2000. My wife purchased a volume edition
Office 2007 Pro Plus from work. The installation stalls at the installation
progress screen then a dialogue opens with the message:
'Setup cannot find cannot find office.en-us\officeLR.cab. Browse to a valid
installation source then click OK'

I use Vista 32 bit Ultimate edition.

I was installing Office Professional Plus 2007 from new original disks
onto a new clean install of Vista Ultimate 32 bit edition.

Note that I purchased the full version of office *not an upgrade
version*.

However, I kept receiving the error you've described.

I fixed the problem by installing Offce XP onto my system (from an
original CD) and then afterwards installed Office 2007 onto the system
as an upgrade and it worked fine.

Frustrating but fixable if you own a previous version of office

Friends,

Just Rename the Hidden Folder "MSOCache" (C:\MSOCache) as MSOCache1 and try
to install Office2007.

I have tried renaming this folder but it makes no difference. I am reluctant
to try the uninstall / install route I've seen suggested elsewhere in case
the same problem occurs when I try the install and I'm then left with nothing
installed at all.
