I'm attempting to install Office 2010 Pro Plus on a netbook running WWindows 7 Starter but the installer prompts for a file location:

Setup cannot find ProPlusr.WW\ProPrWW2.cab. Browse to a valid installation source, and then click OK.

I checked the installation files and can see that the file is present. I selected the folder and clicked OK, but the installer keeps prompting for the file.

Has anyone else encountered this?

Is there any trial or multiple versions of Office installed on the system?If present Uninstall them. And try to extract the file and then try to install:

  • Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories > Run
  • Click on the Office installation executable file and drag and drop it into the ‘Run’ command to get the file name and its location in the ‘Run’ command's open tab.
  • Go to the run command > press ‘End’ button on the keyboard > press the ‘Space’ key > type ‘/extract’ without quotes > OK Example: C:\Users.....OfficeSetup.exe /extract
  • You will be prompted to store extracted files, Click on Desktop > Make a new folder > name the folder as ‘Office Setup’
  • Wait until the file extraction completes > Open the ‘Office Setup’ folder from desktop.
  • Double click on Setup file and try installing the Office suite.
