View Full Version : Corrupt .CAB files on 8.0 CD (Australian & Int Content)

I'm getting .CAB extraction errors in the 'Australia.cab' and 'IntMet.cab' files. Winzip says that the file is corrupt in the log file. I'm simply trying to extract them to a network location so that it can be pathed to from the workstations.

I have tried our other 8.0 CD's with the exact same error at the same place.
Have others experienced this? Could the CD have been packaged with bad files?

No worries here Chad. Extracted, installed smooth and sweet.

Well... I just tried it on a different computer (something I should have tried earlier), and it worked. Don't understand what went wrong with the first few attempts.

I had similar problems with the R7 install. Content and help files were uploaded fine but wouldn't install properly on some machines. It seemed totally random and was an easy fix by just copying to the appropriate folder on the install machine but a nuisance.
