Reinstalling Office Professional 2003

[Jerry D]

I had to reinstall Windows XP Pro due to a virus and had an upgrade version
of Office Pro 2003 from Office XP Small Bus Ed that came preinstalled on my
Dell. I no longer have and cannot find the Small Bus ED disk. Trying to
reinstall the ugrade will not work because it cannot find any previous
version of Microsoft Office. Microsoft Office is still on my C Drive and but
there is no executable file to re-install it. I've contacted Dell and trying
to figure how to reinstall the software. Does anyone have any links or
suggestions. I don't want to rebuy another Office Package

Thank you, I read the the same information earlier and I resolved the problem
by purchasing the standard edition.

Thank you, my computer is four years old so Dell wouldn't honor sending
another copy, I went ahead and purchased the standard edition.
