Ok here is the problem:
I have Windows XPpro and Office XP with Frontpage installed.
Every thing in the office XP is working except Excel, it was fine before, i have not used it for a while and today I needed to make a few histograms and it will not even start.
When I try to start it i get the following messages, maybe some of you have might find these familiar and have some ideas. These are the messages(5 total) i get after I click on Microsoft Excel in the start Menu>>>>>>>
1) "Windows installer
-preparing to install"
2) "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office XP with Frontpage"
3)"the feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available" and it asks me to insert the disk(i don't have it) and also in the message i'm given a drop menu saying"Use feature from" and we are given the browse button.
If i click Ok it say it needs the Proplus.msi package from which to install. If i click cancel i get the following message>>
4)"Error 1706. Set up cannot find the required files. Check your connection to the network, or CD-ROM drive....
when i click OK
5)"Fatal error occured during installation".
Sound familiar? Everything has been working great for a year and suddenly out of the Blue Excel doesn't work(everyother office application does) how could that be? and how to fix it, i can't reinstall Office and i need excel right now
Thanks for any help
