You need the install disk unfortunately.

One option to consider is downloading MSFT's Office 2007 beta program and
installing XL 2007, which also has Solver.

You have to pay a nominal fee of $5 or so to download it, and the software
expires in Feb 2007, by which time you should get your Office 2003 install
disk.

You can save XL files made in XL 2007 in XL 03 format.

Circuitous, but it will give you the capabilities you need.
