    cannot reinstall Excel 2003

    One of my friends called me to fix some problems related to Office 2003 professional running on his Xp Home Editions SP3 based laptop. He told me that he was not able to open any MS Word or Excel attachments any more from the mails. Other attachments like Powerpoint was opening properly without any problem. I tried to search some solutions on web and at a place I found someone telling to re-install only excel.

    I said ok and uninstalled Excel but when tried re-installing the same I got an error saying some error occurred and cannot install. What I did later is updated the antivirus and scanned the complete system assuming any virus might be creating the problem but there was nothing. System was clean according to the antivirus program. Later I run Disk Defrag utility and surprisingly that fixed the problem. Now I was able to open all Word attachments but remember, I uninstalled Excel.

    Thought the original problem got solved by defragging but the new problem is how can I install Excel ?

    I will need to find it out when I’ll visit my friend’s place again. As I remember I got some log file named something (Setup(0003).txt). Was it the Setup (0003)_Task(0001).txt ?
