software application recovery hilaryRockJones 12/30/2008 3:49:03 PM I can see the application Excel in the C:\Backup folder created during a full system restore with backup, but obviously it won’t run!! - Is there a way to re-install or restore one program (Excel 2003) from this directory, thru some method other than the CD as I have lost the CD. I have the original box, the Cert of Auth and every other application CD, which I have successfully reinstalled with orig CD's, OR can I restore only the Excel program from the C:\Backup folder using the F11 system recovery option allowed at computer restart?

You can repair the whole Office suite by doing this: try to repair/install the Office Suite by going to Add/Remove programs and click on Remove button on the XP Office 2003 a pop up window will come up with three options one of them Repair Radio button, please select that to repair the Office File structure and if the Caches of the setup located in this directory (C:\Backup)you can point the installer to it. If you don't have the CD, try to read this article: Locate missing .msi files http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/HA011185721033.aspx HTH, nass --- http://www.nasstec.co.uk
