May 19, 2011 - All of a sudden I get the message that the PRO11.MSI file is missing when trying to download updates. I tried the detect and fix option of help. Jan 9, 2008 - I'm not sure to whom I should turn, Dell or Microsoft. Everything else in Outlook seems to work fine. It's just weird that this one simple function of.

I have a MS office 2003 professional edition, When i try to open an excel file it ran some installation and threw an error that SKU011.CAB file was missing, I went through some online forums and one of them suggested that i do the following changes: In start / execute: Regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Microsoft -> Office -> 11.0 -> Delivery You should have this key 900-11D3-8CFE-C9 clik on it and (at the right of your screen), right clik on CDCache key. And type 0 as new value I did the same and got rid of the SKU011.CAB error, but now a new issue cropped up.

As usual it starts wit some kind of installation but now says that its missing a file 'PRO11.MSI'. I dont have the ms office installer any more.

Hi People, My company uses Microsoft office 2003. I have this problem where one user recieves an error when he open MS Word. THe error states that he needs to run PRO11.MSI. However this only happens when he is off the network. And even then if you choose cancel, word works fine, the only think you cannot do is select HELP on the toolbar.

When he is on the network WORD can see the SMS server (original location of PRO11.MSI) and all is well. What i dont understand is why it continually needs to look for PRO11.MSI. At the moment the only way he can open word without getting this error is when I create a shortcut to winword.exe with the switch /a.

I tried to m ake all word documents use this switch by modifying how word opens in file types, but the same switch doesnt prevent the error. I have also deleted and recreated normal.dot, and am very confused. The obvious solution is try a reinstall, but a second person has complained of the same problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. The PRO11.msi file is a setup file that gives Word (Office) setup information about the edition and features available to the edition (among other things). So, if Word is asking for it, then likely an advertised feature has been used (or requested).

Advertised features are the 'install on first run' features in setup. By hitting cancel, setup just doesn't install or offer the feature. However, it does remember that you requested the feature once so it will tirelessly ask you for it until the feature is installed. You can usually fix this problem in two ways (second way is like what chuckyh suggested - my preferred method also): 1.

Browse to the location of the pro11.msi file in the dialog box. The error actually says something like, 'the feature you are trying to use is on a disk or other removable media.' You should be able to click browse, then select it (wherever it is), and Word should be happy from there on out.
