re: can't find D:Data.cab. File is on Thursday, March 25, 2004 at 1:16 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by MarkB (1 messages posted) I've had the same 'Cannot file [cab file]' on installations recently too even though the file is on the disk. First is was on Silent Hill 3 which was on a DVD-ROM on my desktop PC. At the time I put it to the install pack on the game. I recently purchased a laptop and tried installing a Bluetooth network, the install CD-ROM worked find on the laptop DVD drive but I got the same 'Cannot find [cab file] on the desktop DVD drive. As it worked on the laptop (OS XP Home) and 4 other PC's at work (3 Win98 and 1 Win2k Server) then I could discount the CD-ROM itself. I tried installing the drivers on the Desktop machine again (XP-Pro) this time from the CD-RW drive and got the same 'Cannot find [cab file]' again....Discounting the DVD drive as the problem. So it's either something I've installed or setting I've changed on the destop PC is my opinion (but what is a mystry). I have got PowerArchiver installed and is assosiated to CAB files which might be a possible cause? On Wednesday, February 25, 2004 at 6:52 am, MDS wrote: > >This may be a security policy setting.
