[AccessD] Access 2003 - Cannot find installable ISAM

I am trying to link to text files at a client site.  The file is in fact already linked but when I 
try to open it on the server (where I log in and work) I get this error.  It is basically a corrupt 
installation I think.  I can run the reinstall but it doesn't come up with the initial form for 
selecting what pieces of Office to install, it simply repeats the original install which I am 
guessing was told not to install a bunch of stuff.

Now... the client hired a company to manage their stuff.  That company took the Office 2003 disks, 
did the install and kept the disks.  Yep!

Now my client doesn't have the disks and is in a billing dispute with the company so...

I have looked at the knowledge base article but it does me no good.  Has anyone ever solved this 
without a uninstall / reinstall from disk?
