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

[Indravan]

My XP system was having Ms Office 2000 until yesterday when I bought a new Office Pro 2007 volume edition. When start the installation, it goes for about 2 minutes and at a certain stage setup comes up with a dialogue box saying

“Setup cannot find cannot find office.en-us\officeLR.cab. Browse to a valid installation source then click OK'

I am a newbie with all these stuffs, don’t have any idea what to do. Any help please ?

Me too getting exactly the same message , only it's trying to install Excel and cannot find the ExcelLR cab file.

You don't seem to have gotten any responses to your question here. What did you finally do?

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

Hey guys, you just need to delete or atleast rename the MSOCache file to MSOCache1 and try installing Office 2007 again. It should work. Note that MSOCache is a hidden file and you will first need to make your explorer “Show Hidden Files”. The file is located at C:\MSOCache

For more info on MSOCache, check these discussions:

Re-installing my old version (MS Ofc Home & Student 2007) then installing my new version (MS Ofc Home & Student 2010) worked - thanks :)
