Re: "Missing" Cab files installing office 2007 on localized Vista

(Solved at last)

To make this story complete:

It all turns out to have been a corruption problem in one of the mirrors of the MSDN/Technet download site. So, If you are having this problem, be sure you have the right media, or download it again from MSDN or Technet. If you don't have download access, and you don't have the original media, then you're probably trying to install an illegal copy so bugger off.

That said, there are a couple of things that should be solved IMHO:

* On Vista, setup should not just 'fail' upon copying the file to the LIS, it should log and tell that the digital signature of the file is invalid and that the MD5 hash does not match, and therefore that setup cannot continue
* On XP, setup does not seem to be checking signatures or MD5 hashes at all
* KB826511 ("How to use a setup log file to troubleshoot setup problems in Office") incorrectly references Office 2007 as well.

| Just to let everyone know: it looks like there are corrupted ISO images
| circulating. Further investigations show that on my ISO image, which I
| downloaded over and over again from Technet (a legitimate source, I'd
say)
| the "missing" cab file has an invalid digital signature and a MD5 hash
| that's not the same as the accompanying setup.xml. So either the ISO
image
| on Technet/MSDN is bad, or the mandatory File Transfer Manager mangles
the
| file. I've also been able to reproduce the missing Proof.cab problem
| reported in other threads as well as a missing cab file in Visio 2007
Dutch,
| I bet it's the same problem.
|
| So, we're still working on a solution. We could fool the installer by
| changing the MD5 hash in setup.xml in the EnterpriseWW.en-us, but I doubt
| this will lead to a working Office installation. Stay tuned!
