I am trying to install MS Office 2003 on a Dell Inspiron 1100 and it is
giving me the following error:

Waiting for cabinets to be cached to local installation source
File E2561412.CAB

What does this mean and how can I get pass it? I am running 2.3, 256 ram,
20G HD with XP sp2.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Are you installing from a CD/DVD or from files that were copied to your hard
drive?

If you're installing from CD/DVD, try copying to entire installation set to
your hdd, and see if you can install from there.

If that doesn't work, you can see if the following helps (although, it might
be a bit cryptic):

Ok I tried what you suggested and it did not work. It still gives me a
cabinet error. Any other suggestions.

Thanks
