Troubles with Excel since SP3 update failure

SP3 update has failed with error code 0x8024002D . Since, it's impossible to
launch Excel. Pop up menu asks for Microsoft Office XP Standard installation
CD. The other programs of the Office suite are still working (yet?). Is there
something else apart a new installation? Many thanks for any advice.

Error Code: 0x8024002D
means - a full-file patch failed because the source was required

Either repair Office XP install and try the patch again or try installing the patch
with the Office XP CD in the installation drive.
