Install Office SP3 from CD (Office CDs unavailable)?

[wadp1]

I have Office XP on my machine, but no CDs. I also have the SP3 CD, but I
haven't been able to install it. I have unpacked the Fullfile folder's zip
file, but when try to run the "Office..exe" file, it asks for the Office CDs.
When I try to run either of the other files, they tell me the "Expected
version was not found."
What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Likely that you will need your original installation media.
