Are these downloads or retail versions of the programs? I have seen this
when CD's are burned from corrupted downloads (.iso files). The cab file may
be there, but not the "complete" cab file.

Not to do with your problem, but you DO realize that if you install again to
Vista you will have to activate again. You will likely run into problems
because it is already activated. You may get a message that the key is
already in use. Then you will have to decide as how you want to handle the
situation.
