I've removed a cd-drive from my computer. This means that I do no longer
have a g: drive which I originally installed office 2003 from.

Now it only asks for the disk in drive g: (which doesn't exist). How do I
change the installation path?

When prompted for installation (something with VBA), there is now browse
function. I just get a dialogbox saying. "There is no drive G:. Installation
terminated. Click OK."

Thanks in advance

Regedit is a good place to start:
HKLM>Software>Microsoft>Office>

11.0>Common>Internet has a string 'LocationOfComponents' which I believe is
an installation path. Have a good browse around there and you should fin it.

There are also 'windows tweaking tools' which know the locations of shuch
strings in the registry although one should be careful with these as an OS
can be ruined with wrong values in wrong places ;)

I've removed a cd-drive from my computer. This means that I do no longer
have a g: drive which I originally installed office 2003 from.

Now it only asks for the disk in drive g: (which doesn't exist). How do I
change the installation path?

When prompted for installation (something with VBA), there is now browse
function. I just get a dialogbox saying. "There is no drive G:. Installation
terminated. Click OK."

Thanks in advance

just rename the cd drive that you do have to the same drive letter it
is looking.

you can lock that drive to that letter so that it does not change in
the future.
