Cannot find ProPsWW.cab

Question

During an installation of the MS Office Plus 2010 the installer specifies that it cannot find the ProPsWW.cab file that is located on the .iso of the installation disc. I chose to download the 32-bit version of the MS Office Plus 2010 (language Polish). I have a Windows 7 system.

Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Try to burn the iso file on to a disc and then try to install Office from the setup file and check how it works.

Refer the link on how to convert an iso file to an installation media:-

I installed on my XP from a saved download the 2010 office on top of  the 2003 - no prpoblem. Then my HD had to be formatted and thereafter the 2003 was no longer there. This time the 2010 refused to install due to the same reason of that file missing.. So, I installed the 2003 back on and then followed with 2010 installation = no problem again. Wow!!! Did a search for PropsWW.cab  and there it was but as ProPsWW.cab.part. Saved it on a flash drive. Had to reformat my HD again for different reason. Clean reinstalled my XP and followed with the installation of the 2010 but this time LEFT THE FLASHDRIVE PLUGGED IN. THE 2010 INSTALLED WITHOUT A GLITCH hahahahahah!  Does this tell you something? You could probably wait until asked for ProPsWW.cab and then put your flashdrive in too. I did not try this, though. One warning: if you install 2010 on top of 2003 and then delete 2003 - everything still works fine but some of the buttons elswhere such as CANCEL, APPLY,  OK etc. will be blank but functional. No 2003? Find who has it or 2007or 2010 and search and save hahahahahaha! What a fun! First grade elementary school job!!! FOUNTAIN!!! HAHAHAHA}}}}}}}}}

I did both things and the same happens. When I specify the localization of the file the installer still says that the localization is incorrect. I am using Daemon Tools Lite btw. I downloaded the full .iso (name of the file: SW_DVD5_Office_Professional_Plus_2010_W32_Polish_MLF_X16_52703).

Answer 5

Did you face the same issue using the downloaded setup file?

Try the following steps if installing using a disc:

1.     Insert the disc, click on Start-> Computer

2.     Right click on Office 14 > Explore

3.     Copy all the files (CTRL +A then CTRL+C)

4.     Right click on Desktop->New->Folder

5.     Paste all the files (CTRL+V)

6.     Run the Setup (.exe) file from the new folder

If the issue still persists, enableClean-boot and then try to install Office 2010. 

Note: once the troubleshooting is done, enable Normal Start-up
