Update failed, now Excel won't function

D

I've had all kinds of crashes with Office XP over the
past year. I can't find my CD (I have move since
orginally install). So, I find a place where I can
download an "admin" version of update - says the CD isn't
needed. I download and start update. Sure enough it
DOES ask for the CD. I don't have it, so the install was
cancelled. NOW, I can not use EXCEL. When I try to open
Excel it starts the installer program and asks for the
CD. Wish I would have known that I was STILL going to
need the CD BEFORE I started the process. Now what? I
need Excel RIGHT NOW. Thank you very much Microsoft. Is
there anyway to "un-do" the update?

I do have the similar experience...
The Windows Installer always prompt for the "stdret.msi"
file but I can never find it either on my Office XP CDs
or on my system. It causes all installations of office
components failed! Now I'm not able to launch my Excel
and install the SR-3. How can I solve the problem?
