Default How do I get a data analysis add-in for excel?

I have the Backup for office 2002 and put it in the cd drive. I did what you
said, and "Run all from my computer" looked like it was checked, but I
clicked on it again to make sure. Then I went to run the add ins and a box
comes up saying:

The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other.. that's not
available.
Insert the "Microsoft Office XP Professional with Frontpage" disk and click
OK.

So I click ok and a new box says 'it cannot be found.' that I should 'verify
I have access to this location & try again', or to try to find the
installation package 'PROPLUS.MSI'

I searched the disk to find PROPLUS.MSI but couldn't find it. What should I
do now?

If already installed..................

In Add/Remove Programs find MS OFFICE and "Change"

Wait for a few seconds then when available click on "Add or remove
features"NextChoose advanced customizationsExcelAdd-ins.

Make sure "Run all from my computer" is checked.

If installing for first time you will get that as an option during the "typical"
install.

I was just wondering, if I have the cd, can I install the add ins so they are
on the laptop and I don't have to keep re-inserting the cd?

Thanks
