Description
When performing any number of operations with MS Office such as reinstalling, repairing, installing SP3, etc the error
SKU001.CAB is missing.
It seems that even if you have the Office cabs files on your hard drive or you insert your original CD that it still can’t find this cab file.
This error could also occur when launching any of the applications in MS Office such as Microsoft Word, Excel or Powerpoint particularaly after an crash or a previous update was applied.
Symptoms
- When re-installing, repairing, upgrading or just launching an application from the Microsoft Office suite the error “SKU001.CAB is missing” appears.
Explanation
This error is occurring because a registry entry is incorrectly set and setup is looking in the wrong place.

- Click Start > Run
- Type regedit and hit ENTER or click OK
- You should see the navigation tree in the left pane. Navigate to the following keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Software
Microsoft
Windows
Office

Delivery
- Inside the Delivery Key there should be one more key which is a long string of numbers for example:
