  • lack of ' product. CAB' and error 1603 trying to reinstall Skype VoIP

    East - VISTA problem? Need to reinstall the product "missing (?). CABIN"and get the error 1603. I'm NOT technically savvey!

    You must contact the Skype assistancce support in the installation of their products.  This looks more like a problem with their software with Vista (but it might have something to do with the installer of Windows but I have enough information to say).  Make sure that you uninstall the previous installation before trying to re - install.

    Here is some information on the 1603 error that can help. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/834484.

    I hope that they ccan help you.  If this isn't the case, after return and we'll see what we can do.

    Good luck!

    Hello

    I searched a bit on the Microsoft page and found this knowledge base article:
    + * You receive a "error 1603: a fatal error occurred during installation" error message when you try to install a Windows Installer package * +.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/834484

    Article Microsoft said that the error message appears because only:

    + - File that you try to install the Windows Installer package to is encrypted. +
    + - The drive that contains the folder that you are trying to install the Windows Installer package is available as a replacement player. +
    Account of + - the SYSTEM does not have the full control permissions on the folder that you are trying to install the Windows Installer package to. You notice the error message because the Windows Installer service uses the SYSTEM account to install the software. +

    I recommend that you check this document and try the workaround provided by Microsoft.

    Maybe it helps

    Good luck.
