What kind of Office do I need when it needs the original disk?

[dsatchell]

I have a client whose Office installation is asking for a file SKU011.CAB
The problem is that my client bought the assets of a bankrupt company and
they can't find the CD of course.

So I can pull the serial number from the PC using magicaljellybean but now I
need to find out what kind of disk Office is looking for (OEM, VL, Retail,
SP0, SP1, SP2, etc.). I do know that it is Office 2003 Professional but that
is it.

I need to get this ASAP. Is it possible to get any info from MS with regard
to replacing lost/stolen media?

Thanks, David Satchell.

You will need to locate better paper documentation.

If you open any application then in Help, About button should give you a
hint.

If you can't run any applications then searching in the registry key
helps.

If you look at the EULA you may be able to find something buried in there.
Also, try looking up the computer's serial number on the manufacturer's
website. It may mention something about what software came with that system.
