CAUSE

This behavior occurs when all the following conditions are true:
  • You have Microsoft Office Standard, Professional, or Small Business Edition installed on your computer.
  • You then install a different edition but the same version of Office -- either Office Professional or Premium Edition.
  • When you attempt to use a feature that is not installed, you insert the most recently used Microsoft Office CD-ROM into the computer.
Setup is expecting the CD-ROM from the first installation of Microsoft Office.
