Office XP Service Pack 3 looks for PUB.MSI and can't find it.

[lacachadd]

I have tried for days to download Office XP Service Pack 3. Every time it
gets in about a quarter of the way through and this message pops up: "The
feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the
installation package 'PUB.MSI' in the box below." Well, I have search my PC
and cannot locate 'PUB.MSI" although MS Publisher is installed on the
computer. I would ignore the entire service pack, but programs keep shutting
down and the crash report says I need the service pack. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Did you insert your Publisher CD when it asked for this file?
