Error 1311 Sku111
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. 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 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 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!

Error 1311 when installing Office 2007 Started by Kat232 , Feb 26 2007 12:17 AM Please log in to reply error 1311 #1 Kat232 Posted 26 February 2007 - 12:17 AM Kat232 Member Member 17 posts I have Office 2003 Pro and am trying to upgrade to 2007, though it's the Home and Student edition. When I try installing the upgrade from cd, it comes up with error 1311: Can't find source file E:\sku111.cab. What should I do? 0 Advertisements #2 Jrenter2 Posted 01 March 2007 - 01:27 PM Jrenter2 Member Member 435 posts Hi Kat232,Here is something for you to try. error 1311 sku111 The files should be on the Microsoft Office Professional 2003 disk. But in order for the installer to find the files you need to allow the system to show hidden files, and also not hide extensions. here is how: 1.Click Start, and then click My Computer. 2. Click Folder Options on the Tools menu. 3. Click the View tab. 4. Click Show hidden files and folders under Hidden files and folders. 5. Clear the Hide file extensions for known file types check box. Next run your Office program that gives you problems and then when you browse to show it the files, just select your cdrom/dvdrom drive where your disk is. When the install is complete, go back and hide your files/folders again.Hope this helps.

Found what I needed to anyway. Unfortunatley, allowing the system to see every single possible file did no good. Office Home and Student 2007 still says the same error - Source file not found: E:\sku111.cab. Though why would it be looking for that file name in the E:\ drive, which is my dvd drive, when it's listed on Microsoft's webiste as the Office Professional 2003 file? More ideas? eeeeeeeeek. 0 #4 Tim At Tamerlane Posted 07 May 2010 -
