Resolution of SKU011 Error in Ms Office

It happens to most Windows users; one day out of the blue your PC decides it doesn't want to let you run any of the Microsoft Office applications. Most likely, you have receive the "Installation Error: File not Found" error message as seen in below snapshot

This is another classic misleading windows error message, which causes you to rummage the internet for the file sku011.cab when in fact; you didn't have this file on your computer when Microsoft Office was working! In the next section, we will discuss the overall approach to fixing the problem at hand. All though Microsoft’s error messages reads "A required installation SKU011.CAB could not be found" and the dialogue box prompts for the location of this file, this is not the underlying cause of the problem, it is just a symptom. The root of the problem lies within the Window's Registry. Part of the initialization of Microsoft Office, values are pulled out of the registry in order for the application to execute as the user would expect the program to run. When the CDCache is set to a value other than 0, Windows tries to perform a supplemental install that http://www.sku011cab.com deems to be unnecessary. Updating the CDCache value in the registry to 0, fixes the issue pertaining to sku011.cab. In short, no additional file needs to be downloaded and the next section gives a step by step instruction to update your Microsoft Office CDCache value to 0.
