Out of the blue, when I launch MS Excel 2003 (WindowsXP|SP2) I now get
the MS Office Install dialogue box which fails to then find a file
SKU112.cab???!! and asks for mi installation CD.

Not only do In not have the CD with me (it's locked away in a box 2500
miles away and I'm constantly on the road) but the program has worked
flawlessly for the 19-months its been installed on this laptop.
Curiously, I am able to launch Excel 2003 from the Windows|Run command
when I input "Excel".

What's going on and how do I rectify this (especially without the CD in
hand?)

Help and Thanks!

I suspect that Windows or Excel has run an update in the background. Unless
you have the installation files on the hard drive, which is often the case
with an OEM install then you will need the CD to overcome this
