Went to the Windows Server 2003 PSDK Full Download with Local Install[^] site and duely downloaded all the files. Then as explained on that site I put them all in a directory and then run the batch file pointing it at another directory (I use the same names as in the examples but I am using D:\). All runs fine until it reaches the 4th file, PSDK-FULL.4.cab (yes I have re-downloaded it and opened it in WinZip as a test) which causes the following error -
ERROR: Could not find cabinet file D:\SDK\PSDK-FULL.4.cab\Disk 1 Extract needs cabinet file 'PSDK-FULL.4.cab' from 'Disk 1'. Please enter the path where this file may be found, and press ENTER:Anyone seen this error before? More importantly, anyone know how to fix it? Google is not my friend.

The proper syntax for the extract command is extract /c <cabinetname> <destination>, I believe. The path D:\SDK\PSDK-FULL.4.cab\Disk 1 isn't correct; it probably should be D:\SDK\Disk 1\PSDK-FULL.4.cab, assuming that the .cab file is in the folder Disk 1. Refer to this article[^] to find the proper syntax for the command, then run it manually to extract the contents of this .cab file.

If it says its ok then the cab is perfect, if not then you need to redownload it. I just did all this a few weeks ago and it worked good for me. As an aside, changing a bit in a cab with a hex editor does cause it to fail its digital signature check, putting the bit back makes it right again. John

All the .cab files were in D:\SDKtemp with D:\SDK being the target. The problem lay in the fact I downloaded the first 3 files one night and the rest the next. The fist 3 came from XPSP2 PSDK Full Download with Local Install[^] while the rest came from Windows Server 2003 PSDK Full Download with Local Install[^]. The PSDK-FULL.4.cab file I had was incompatible with the PSDK-FULL3.cab I had. Human error strikes again.
