Upgrading from Office '03 to '07 Frustrated with setup! 12/10/2008 8:40:03 PM I currently have Office '03 installed and no trial version of '07. However, when I tried to upgrade to '07, I get an error saying that PA561401.cab cannot be located. I have retried, and rebooted, and cancelled, all to no avail. Where can I get the .cab file?

Re: Upgrading from Office '03 to '07 "Aaron Rykhus [MSFT]" <arykhus[ at ]online.microsoft.com> 12/15/2008 12:45:52 PM What about the 2003 disk? Have you checked there? When I searched the Microsoft Knowledgebase (http://support.microsoft.com) for PA561401.cab I found this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896301 so that would imply it's a 2003 file that's not found or maybe the cached installation files in MSOCACHE are missing or corrupt. If you have the 2003 disk you can try inserting that on the upgrade instead of having setup detect 2003 installed on the machine. When you get the error if there's a place in the message box window to browse to locate the file insert the 2003 disk and click OK.

Re: Upgrading from Office '03 to '07 Frustrated with setup! 12/15/2008 4:04:01 PM That is the problem, I do not have the 2003 disk. So, I assume that means I cannot upgrade? Or is there anyway around that .cab file? "Aaron Rykhus [MSFT]" wrote: [Quoted Text] > What about the 2003 disk? Have you checked there?

Re: Upgrading from Office '03 to '07 "Aaron Rykhus [MSFT]" <arykhus[ at ]online.microsoft.com> 12/15/2008 4:21:15 PM There's not anyway around that .cab file that I'm aware of, but even if there was it's not a good idea to be without the previous qualifying media when you upgrade. Call (800) 360-7561 (if you're in the U.S.) and order a replacement disk, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302822 for more info, the number for Canada's in that article too.
