OUTRET.MSI folder

[rja8662745]

I have office XP standard for students and teachers which includes outlook.
Outlook was installed years ago using these disks. Now I'm trying to import
a comma delimited file to outlook using the import/export wizard. When I
select import from "comma separated values" I receive a message that the
feature is not currently installed. When I say to install it I get the
outlook translator starts and asks for the Microsoft Outlook 2002 disc.
Microsoft is looking for the installation package OUTRET.MSI but this folder
is not on any of the 3 disks in the set. What do I do? Do I reinstall all
of the software and will that damage what is already there? Thanks

OUTRET.MSI suggests that a standalone retail version of Outlook has been
used to install Outlook and not the Student and Teachers suite.
You can complete reinstall Office without losing settings or Outlook (or
Word or Excel or PowerPoint or...) data.

Of course it never hurts to have a current backup. For details about backing
up and restoring Outlook data see;
