Microsoft Office / "Error 1327 Invalid drive" when installing Office 2003 Problem When installing Microsoft Office from your hard drive you get error 1327 invalid drive the following message: “Error 1327 invalid drive D:\” The drive letter may invalid definition be different from what is stated above. Solution Click the Start button. (Windows XP users should then click Run) Type regedit and press Enter. In the Registry Editor go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ->Software -> Microsoft -> Office -> 11.0 -> Delivery Located in this folder there will be 1 or more subfolders, click on each subfolder and look for LocalCacheDrive. Right click on LocalCacheDrive and click Modify. Change the D (or whatever letter appears in the error) to the letter of the drive you are installing from (e.g. C). Close the Registry Editor and try installing Office again. Now when installing, it may say that it can’t find a ".cab" file. If that happens: Click OK and it will bring up a box to search for the file. In the Path box, change the drive letter to the same letter as the drive you are installing from and click OK.

I modified it from F to C (I don't have an F drive). Office patches went through on the retry without error. Thank you!

The advice in the link that slhck still applies to Office 2010. –Ramhound Dec 1 '12 at 10:11 @Ramhound - I am not trying to install on that drive. It shows me installing to C:\Program Files –leora Dec 1 '12 at 14:52 @leora - WHy does it say `H:` then? –Ramhound Dec 2 '12 at 6:26 @Ramhound - I have no idea . . maybe there is some files that it installs on your personal folders but the install path for the app is definately C:\Program Files . . anyway, i figured out the issue, see below –leora Dec 3 '12 at 3:55 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote The link in the comment got to the right answer.

writingsMy Web sitesBlogExternal linksSite news Search Invalid Drive X:\ (Error 1327) when attempting to reinstall Office 2003 Details Created: 05 February 2004 On a brand new Windows Server 2003/Office 2003 installation, I attempted to re-run the Office 2003 installer to change some options. Instead, I received an error message with error code 1327, complaining about X:\ being an invalid drive. But I don't have a drive X:! I never did! My CD-ROM perhaps wasn't drive F: when I did the original installation, but it definitely wasn't X: either! And the target drive for the installation is C:. What could be wrong? Naive attempts to create a drive X: and either map the installation CD or a temporary directory to it did not resolve the problem. Reading the logs, however, revealed the underlying cause: at the time I did the original install, I did have a drive X:, which the Office Installer used as a temporary caching drive. So what can I do now? None of the recommendations in the Microsoft Knowledge Base were of any use. However, I found a solution by editing the Registry. Under the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Delivery, you can find one or more subkeys containing GUIDs. Under each of these subkeys, there is a string value by the name of LocalCacheDrive. In my case, the string value in each case was 'X', which I changed to 'T' (the partition where my temporary files reside.) After that, the Office installer worked correctly. Footnote The above was written in February, 2004. It is now September, and I ran into trouble with the new Office Service Pack 1: it refused to install. I suspect that the root of the problem was the same; a Microsoft Knowledge Base article did suggest that if you install Office from a network location and then attempt to change or upgrade it using a CD-ROM, it will fail. The recommended solution was an uninstall/reinstall, which worked in my case. Note that if you run into the 1327 problem, you cannot even uninstall Office! So you still need to make the change in the Registry, but I recommend that afterwards, you completely uninstall and reinstall Office, to avoid any problems later on.
