SUMMARYLocal Install Source is a Setup feature that copies the
install source files from the Microsoft Office 2003 installation media (for
example, the Office 2003 CD-ROM) to the Msocache folder. This is a hidden
folder on your local hard disk.MORE INFORMATIONThe install source files will be copied from the
installation media to the Msocache folder on your local hard disk if the
following conditions are true:
- One of the available hard drives has more than 1.5
gigabytes (GB) of free disk space available.
- The hard disk with sufficient space is not a removable
drive or a network drive.
The Local Install Source feature is installed so that you do
not have to insert the CD during the following Setup operations:
- Detect and Repair
- Demand Install
- Maintenance Mode Setup
- Installation of service packs and patches
If you want to remove the Msocache folder, you can do this
during Office Setup, or after Office has been installed. Removing these files
will save approximately 270 megabytes (MB) of hard disk space. After you remove
the Msocache folder, you may have to provide the installation media to complete
the Setup operations that are listed earlier. Note The MSOCACHE folder is not always located on the disk drive with
the most free space. If your computer has an NTFS drive with at least 1.5 GB of
free space, the MSOCACHE folder will be located on that NTFS drive. Remove Msocache Folder During SetupDuring Office 2003 Setup, on the Setup Completed page, click to
