    "Requires files from installation disk!?"

    March 2, 2011  |   By Nodisalsi

    Pros

    none _____

    Cons

    Needs original installation files from source CD's (or equivalent).

    Summary

    We are a not-for-profit organisation. Our OfficeXP is installed on a XP workstation which was granted to us by a consortium funded by (Scottish) local authority and various Government, Scottish Executive and a plethora of financial inclusion charities.

    WE DO NOT HAVE THE *&$!*^! ORIGINAL INSTALLATION DISKS! And I cannot find the installation binaries on any partition or otherwise on this workstation, and I cannot work out who to contact for this provision.

    So updating to Office Standard SP3 has amounted to a Denial Of Service direct from MS themselves.

    When (or if) I have fixed this I will post my solution.

    It's "Scotsman" not "Scotchman"

    Scotchman [?sk?t?m?n]
    n pl -men
    (Social Science / Peoples) (regarded as bad usage by the Scots) another word for Scotsman
