You cannot locate the Setup.exe file on your Office 2003 Setup CD so that you can cache the install files for a selected language

Symptoms

You run the Microsoft Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions (ADE) package wizard. You select an install language in the Installer Experience window. When you do this, you may receive the following message:

The install files for
Language need to be cached before this language can be selected. To cache the install files you will have to specify any CD or folder that contains the full version of Access 2003, for example, Microsoft Office 2003 Professional or Microsoft Office Access 2003 stand-alone. Would you like to cache the Language install files now?


You click Yes, and then you try to locate the Setup.exe file in the Select Setup.exe dialog box. However, you cannot find the Setup.exe file in the root folder of your Microsoft Office 2003 Setup CD.

Note This issue does not apply to Office 2003 Standard Edition because it does not include Access.
