SKU112.cab missing

I recently activated the Trial Verison of Office 2003 on my new HP. Was
working great until I got a Virus that was detected and removed by MacAfee.

Since then when starting EXCEL, the windows Installer activates and then
gives an error saying SKU112.cab is missing and I need to insert the disk or
select the directory where the file is located. All other Office programs are
OK (Mail, Word, etc.)

I don't have CD .. Trial already installed on PC when purchased.

I followed HP & Micorsoft instructions to no avail .. really seems like I
need the file.

ANY IDEAS ? ?

Since the trial version is just a *trial* version...........buy the full
version, uninstall the trial and install the full version.

If you do not have the installation cd and want to solve this issue
follow these steps: (works most of the time with all sku.cab files)

1. Click on start==>run==>type "excel /s" without quotations and click
ok.

2. Once Excel is up in safe mode with the error message in front, hold
down ctrl+Alt+Delete keys on your keyboard to bring the task manager up.

3. Click on the processes tab==>look for msiexec.exe (only the one next
to your user name), click on it and end the process.

4. Excel should be running without an error message now==>close Excel in
safe mode==>reopen it one more time in safe mode to check if it is
opening with no error message.

5. Close Excel /s and open Excel normally, it should work fine.

Will do eventually. Until I get to the store, another resolution was posted
that worked perfectly !

Thanks - it worked for me too following a similar message about missing
file: SKU011.CAB.

This is all fine. It also works after restarting the computer. After powering down the computer and powering it up, it prompts back to the same problem. Any solution?

The above solution was previously supplied by

I followed that same instruction and temporarily fixed the issue. When you power off and then power on, it reverts to the same issue.
