HardwickJanuary 30, 200574 0 0 0 Yesterday I finally diagnosed a problem that a friend’s laptop has had for a while: whenever she tried to install Office 2003 Service Pack 1, it would throw up an error about not finding a file called SKU111.CAB.
Source File Not Found Verify That The File Exists And That You Can Access It
A week ago I’d confidently tried to fix this by downloading the “fullfile” version of Office 2003 SP1 onto the laptop. The fullfile version contains everything needed for an update, as compared to the much smaller normal version which requires you to find your original installation CDROM (but is faster to download from Office Update). So I was pretty annoyed when it threw up exactly the same error: couldn’t find SKU111.CAB. My next step http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_install-mso_other/error-1311-source-file-not-foundverify-that-the/263302e6-9c11-4596-8d94-2200c16a1d83 was to try repairing the original installation first, from Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs. This asked for the original installation CDROM, span it up and down a few times… and then complained about not being able to find SKU111.CAB. Ok, this was getting personal. Which brings us to this weekend, and a lot of Google hits for other people with the same problem. Thankfully, Eric Longman’s post “Can’t find SKU111.CAB” pointed to the https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/jonathanh/2005/01/30/what-to-try-when-office-update-cant-find-sku111-cab/ solution: You've got the wrong install CD. Voila! Turns out that my friend actually had three different installation CDs for Office 2003 (it’s a long story…). One session of CD-swapping later and the laptop was happily installing SP1. Thanks Eric!

Microsoft Office Error error 1311 1311 Started by canopysquid , May 03 2007 11:53 PM Please log in to reply #1 canopysquid Posted 03 May 2007 - 11:53 PM canopysquid New Member Member 4 posts Hi there, I have been getting Microsoft Office Error messages (#1311) when I try to open Excel. I first got these messages earlier today when attempting to set up my Microsoft Outlook software. I have Microsoft Office for Small Businesses 2003. I source file not noticed on some other posts in regards to Error 1311 that inserting the CD helped. However, I no longer have my installation CDs. Is there anything else I can do to access Excel? All the other Microsoft programs seem to be working fine. Thanks. 0 Advertisements #2 piper Posted 04 May 2007 - 05:25 AM piper Retired Staff Retired Staff 2,459 posts Hi canopysquid. Welcome to Geeks to Go!There's not much you can do with your installation CD. I highly recommend calling Microsoft at (800) 360-7561 to order replacement media. See Microsoft article 326246 for additional support options. 0 #3 canopysquid Posted 04 May 2007 - 10:34 PM canopysquid New Member Topic Starter Member 4 posts Hi LindaGail, Thanks for responding to my post. I was hoping I wouldn't need to order new media. Do you happen to know why Excel is not opening? And if I get replacement media, will my current Excel files and other Microsoft files remain on my computer, or do I need to back them all up? Thanks! 0 #4 piper Posted 05 May 2007 - 07:32 AM piper Retired Staff Retired Staff 2,459 posts No, I don't know why your Excel won't open. What happened with your computer just before Excel starting acting up? Did you instal
