After doing a HD data transfer, all my spreadsheets open with this
message, followed by a series of .xls file Excel couldn't find
(apparently). File reads OK, and I can save changes, but clicking
through this series of warnings on every spreadsheet is getting
boring.

This PC was a gift, so I don't have the MS Office disk. How to fix?

Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double clicking on
the file in windows explorer:

Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)

--- or ---

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's
factory defaults.

Maybe one of these will work for you.

It was already unchecked.

Windows Installer:
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is
unavailable."

"Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder
containing the installation package 'pro.msi' in the box below."

Now what?

I'm guessing that you're at work--I'd talk to my IT folks and ask them to help
me reinstall excel (or office).

If you're not at work, then I'd reinstall excel/office.
