Office 2003 product key, windows installer

[DebB]

My PC came with a trial version of Office 2003 Student and Teacher Version.
I purchased a product key and was able to enter it with no problem. After
reboot I have a Windows installer window pop up when I attempt to open an
Office program or IE. Followed by "cannot start Office Outlook. MAPI32.DLL
is corrupt or the wrong version. Please reinstall" I do not have a disc to
install yet. Is there something else I can do to access these programs in
the mean time?

I've tried the following...

Tried to run fixmapi.exe ~ won't run
downloaded RegCure ~ scanned and repaired ~ still same result
downloaded XoftSpySE ~ scanned and repaired ~ same result

All of these I've found in other postings. I've tried going to Microsoft
site but can't access any 2003 downloads for office... keeps flipping me back
to 2007.

Any help would be great!!

Maybe this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926196
NB you will require the Office2003 cd to undertake any further repair

PS Reg repair apps are not really recommended

Well, that didn't seem to work either. So frustrating when it was working
fine before. Thanks for the reply though.
