Default Office XP Service Pack 3 update error "STDEDU.MSI'

I own and purchased the Office XP for Students and Teachers and installed
it once on my HP machine. Recently, the HP failed to boot Windows XP. I
installed a new hard drive and restored the system from my recovery DVD's,
creating in essence a new computer as it was originally purchased. I then
re-installed Office XP onto the HP and it is working fine.

For the last couple of weeks, I am being prompted to apply the Office XP
service pack 3 and each and every time I do this, the update requests to
insert the installation cd because the file STDEDU.MSI is missing. I
inserted the install cd and tried to "detect and repair" the install and it
was still reporting that the file was missing. I manually checked the cd
and that file is not on the cd.

After a bit of research on various forums, I ended up downloading the SP3
update from Microsoft's website with the same result. And if you run the
detect and repair without the cd it just quits the update.

Any suggestions here.

Default STDEDU.MSI Not found

I have encountered the same frustrating problem but I got lucky at the end and was able to locate STDEDU.MSI file in my Microsoft Office XP 2002 installation CD. Once I located and popped that CD in, the installation continued and gone to completion.
