Office 2010 Pro Plus Install Failure – Setup cannot find ProPlusr.WW\ProPrWW2.cab

installationmicrosoft-office-2010

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?
