When I try to install the office it appears an error and I can't to advance.

The error says "Tried to create an invalid path using 'E:\' and 'MSOFF3.cab'."

Please help me to solve this.

Thank you!

DOSBox IS NOT SUITED TO RUN YOUR NON-GAMING DOS APPLICATION

Give vDos a try.

Are you running this in DOSBox in Windows 3.1? (vDOS sure won't help in that case.) You are probably mounting your drives incorrectly. Follow the 60 Seconds Guide.

However, DOSBox is for games and using DOSBox to run Office 4.3 is a pretty terrible idea. You will probably either have to use a bootable DOS hard drive image, or at least use FAKESHAR (which you can find on this message board).
