The Annoying SKU011.CAB

SKU011.CAB

Recently I have difficulty in opening up my excel files. MSOffice keeps on asking to install this file named sku011.cab but even with the installation CD, the skuo11.cab still can’t be found. I’m not sure whether there is such file (skuo11.cab) existed.
It is very frustrating because you don’t know what to do next. I couldn’t open my excel files and it doesn’t help at all trying to re-installed MSOffice professional 2003. It still keeps asking for the same file (sku011.cab).
I then turn to the internet and finally found one website that has been experiencing the same problem as me. I follow his instruction and to my amaze the problem disappeared. The author has done the right thing by publishing it in his web site for his reference and also for the others having the same problem.
Here is the Solution, follow them carefully;

Regedit (start menu -> run -> type regedit)

Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Microsoft -> Office -> 11.0 -> Delivery
There should be only 1 directory under Delivery, which is your DownloadCode (mine was 90000409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9).
Select that directory.
On the right side of the screen, right-click on CDCache. Change the value to 0.
