304801 2004-12-17 09:50:00 Was trying to install Office 2003 for a client but the installation halted halfway through with error message something like :
"Cannot find file ZF561410.CAB"

But when checking the CD, this file is there. Unfortunately, the installation wizard cannot read this file. Can I use another copy of the CD (if I have) with different CD Key to complete the installation?

Cheers

So another CD of the same version and type would work fine with the CD key.

The -exact- error would help, if it continues to occur.

With emphasis on the same version and type. ;)

You could always try copying the CD to your Hard Drive, and installing it from there. I have successfull done this with my copy of Office 2003. Cheers.

And it will accept a key from any version of Office 2003, ie full, OEM or education (or whatever it is called) versions?

I don't know how Office behaves but you can't install or repair an early version of Windows XP with a Win XP SP1/2 CD using the original Win XP licence key. The licence keys are tied to the version of Windows being used.

You shouldnt need to worry. Copy the persons files from CD to his/her HD, then replace the ZF561410.CAB file with the one on your CD if necessary.
