What if my CD is too damaged to access the proplus.msi install fil

[Brian B]

There are optiions that I would like to add on to my Office Suite, which were
not installed to start off with. However, when I go to extract these it
wants access to the original proplus.msi installation package on the CD. My
CD is too damaged to retrieve this file. Is there anything I can do for
that? As it is now I cannot change the office assistant, use the "Detect and
Repair" feature, or add on utilities for Outlook.

Do you have two CD drives, a CD or DVD burner and a CD or DVD ROM? If
so, the burner will often read disks too damaged for the CDROM drive,
it's worth a try?

This rest will be of absolutely NO help to you now, but will everyone
reading this please make copies of your important CDs ASAP?

I know if the CD is ruined MSFT will send you a new one but what if
it's an older product such as Office97? Get the backup made now so you
won't regret it later!

PS. If you don't have a CD burner thing about it, they're getting
pretty reasonable in price.
