Default SBERET.MSI File Missing - Excel/Office XP 2002

Dave,

I find your response offensive, putting me therefore on the defensive.

I posted in more than one category to improve the odds of getting a
response. Furthermore, each category is applicable, thus making it all the
more difficult to choose just one category to post in. And for your further
edification, when I post I always request to be notified of responses in all
cases.

I had seen the one and only informational response registered under one of
the other categories. But that response did not remedy my situation as it the
respondent merely states that the file is actually on a Business Edition CD
ROM. It doesn't matter what CD ROM it's on, I don't have it.

I appreciate you offering your input but, frankly, anyone who feels they'd
be wasting their time by responding to a post shouldn't bother responding at
all. Afterall, isn't this all voluntary?

While I appreciate your effort, I do not appreciate the reprimanding tone of
your reply. Please...wag your finger in someone else's face...not mine.

Whichever one you got answers to.

That's one of the problems with multiposting. You have to check all locations
for all answers.

And you're asking others to possibly waste their time by answering a question
that someone else already answered.

It's not fair to you or to everyone else.

You can use google (maybe a few hours behind) to search for stuff you've posted
(and find the replies, too)

Dave,
I have posted in a total of 3 categories. Which of the other 2 are you
referring two?

Greetings to all...

Up till today, all of my XP Office (2002) apps have been running fine.
Suddenly and inexplicably...and only as of today, when I try to open Excel or
any of my many Excel documents, Windows Installer initiates and starts
searching for set up files and then prompts me to insert the Office Xp CD
ROM, which I unfortunately cannot find. All my other Office Applications
(Word, Outlook, etc.) are still running fine.

Windows Installer also directs me to a help file which indicates that the
SBERET.MSI file is missing - and needed before I can successfully resume
using Excel. I've tried searching in all folders and sub-folders (both hidden
and not hidden) on my hard drive but have not been able to locate this file.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark DiRollo
