MSAS initiating "MS Office Load"

I have MSAS autorunning once a day. But before it
actually starts, I get a xp message asking me to install
my MS Office w/ Front Page set up disk. I have to hit
cancel several times to clear this up, then MSAS begins
to do its thing.

I did once put my office disk in. It began it's setup,
for which I didn't want to add any additional items,
closed it out, and MSAS did its thing again.

But even after that, MSAS still askes me to load in my
office disk.

Any help?
Thanks
 
What's happening is a problem which the Windows Installer seems prone to.
This can happen with other apps as well--I've seen it with Adobe Reader.

Everybody else has mentiont the Windows Installer Cleanup tool, but I'm not
sure that's appropriate in your situation.

What is happening I believe is that some mechanism sees the Office install
as being incomplete in some way.

The cleanup utility is useful if you have no access to the installation
media for the object that is being requested, and don't want it installed
anyway.

In your case, you have the CD, and you want the app installed.

I'd recommend a repair install of Office to cure this. I believe you can
initiate this via Help in any of the Office apps.

This'll take some time, I'm afraid, but it shouldn't mess anything up, and I
believe it'll take care of the problem.
