Windows cannot find file Proplus.ww\ProPsWW.cab while installing Microsoft office10

Download the software again, but use a file download manager - helps to avoid corruption (eg Free download manager) . Check the hash of the file (eg with HashTab) and verify it on the internet.

If the software is on a DVD, you may need to get a replacement.

How to fix - Setup cannot find ProPlus.WW\ProPsWW2.cab

When you receive the error "Setup cannot find ProPlus.WW\ProPsWW2.cab" it might mean the MD5 checksum the install was expecting and the one on the actual file do not match. Here's how I fixed the issue.
First let me explain in simple terms what the MD5 is. MD5 is an algorithm that is used to verify data integrity. If anything in the file changes the MD5 will also change so it's a way for the program to check the integrity of the file.

The MD5 file is kept in the setup file of the proplus.ww folder. Open it with notepad and find the section that looks similar to the following **the numbers after "MD5 =" is what you need to be concerned with. Also remember that your numbers may differ. **

Next you will need to download and install an MD5 checker. I'll leave the process of how to use the MD5 to you to learn but it's pretty simple.

Next run the MD5 checker on the file/s that produce the errors during install. *there may be more than one*

Now there are 2 ways to work around this - If the MD5 on the checker did not match the MD5 in the file it probably means the file is corrupted so your best bet is to download the software again or get another disk.

Another less recommended way is to copy/paste the MD5 from the checker into the file (remember to make a backup of your setup file before) then save it and run the install again. This fools the installation process into verifying that your installation files are all OK.

Good luck!!

Whats the problem?

If you have a usable activation key for Office you can re-download the entire office 2007 package from C'Net.
For Office 2007 Enterprise: http://download.cnet.com/Microsoft-Office-Enterprise-2007-Trial-Version/3000-18483_4-10742067.html
For Office 2007 Standard: http://download.cnet.com/Microsoft-Office-Standard/3000-18483_4-10651636.html?tag=mncol;4
For Office 2007 Home and Student: http://download.cnet.com/Microsoft-Office-Home-amp-Student/3000-18483_4-10704798.html
Once you download and install there will be an option for activation using your existing activation key.
If this doesn't solve your problem you may be having other issues with Windows or your hardware which would require looking at the exact error within the Event Log (Eventvwr.exe) that will explain what part of the ProPlus.cab file couldn't be copied/installed.
Hope this helps!

Hi aberakebe142 ,
I think you will find a solution to your issue here : http://www.technologyquestions.com/technology/microsoft-office/53575-please-advise-setup-cannot-find-proplus*-cab.html
Good luck !

uninstall it then re-install it

The corrupted files are linked to access first. So don't install it in the first phase. Install it in a second phase.

It sounds like the disk is damaged, try downloading Office Professional from microsoft website and using the product key supplied with your disk

go into microsoft and do all the updates available for your computer .that should do it.
it worked for me
