MAINSP3FF.MSP is missing

I am attempting to open an attachment in Outlook 2003 - Windows installer opens and is looking for the mains3ff.msp file - the path is pointing to c:\documents and settings\username\local settings\temp

The contents of this folder were deleted a few weeks ago.

I cannot get any updates from Micorsofts website because this file is missing.

I tried to uninstall/reinstall but cannot.

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!

I uninstalled/reinstalled Office and the problem was resolved.
I would have done this before I posted my question, but Microsoft's web page indicated that this WOULD not resolve the issue - never believe anything you read.
I am all set and thank you for the follow up.
