Is the installer for the viewer still present on the system ?
If not, then suggest you uninstall Excel Viewer from Add/Remove Programs
in the Control Panel. Uninstall any security updates for it *first*.
Download the installation file from here and *save* it:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
Create a folder in My Documents and name it Viewers.
Move xlviewer.exe to the newly created folder and *leave* it there.
Now run xlviewer.exe to install Office Excel Viewer 2003.
Download Excel Viewer 2003 Service Pack 3 (SP3) and *save* it:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
Move it to the Viewers folder and then run
ExcelViewer2003SP3-KB934737-FullFile-ENU.exe
Any further updates will be detected via Automatic Updates as long as
the system is opted in to Microsoft Update or, do a manual visit to
Microsoft Update.
