Here, where I live with the full retail version of XP and Office, the support calls for install issues do not incur the fees.
Since you are getting messages about missing files, you should call this into Microsoft Support.

I installed Windows XP (+SP1)+Office 2003 (with an installation CD that installs both softwares together, without a possibility of installing only the windows.)
I then clicked the checkbox for supporting Asian languages (in the ?Regional and Languages? on the Control Panel). This has worked just fine with the other WindowsXP installations I?ve done in the past.
But the time it just wouldn?t work. I keep getting messages about missing files on the Win CD, and no matter what I try it doesn?t help!
I searched the net for help , but couldn?t find anything about the combination of WinXP (which includes SP1) + Office 2003 ?.
