Office2003 not found after updates

"This action is only valid for products currently installed" error happens
everytime I try to access office 2003 student edition. I found article
number 893048 mentioning a HOTFIX. How do I get this hotfix without using up
one of my free techsupport options? (I havent called techsupport because I
dont want to use up a freebie when its something simple to fix). It was
afterall a microsoft issue with the updates. Thanks
