Excel Reinstalling on ever start up? 1

What OS are you using? Could it be that Office was installed when a different account was logged on and so although the machine side is available, the user side appears to be missing so that it is prompting you for the install CD? How about just reinstalling while logged on as yourself?
Do you have a previous version of Excel installed as well? This was happening to me when I had both Excel 97 and 2000 installed at the same time. I finally uninstalled 97 when I felt comfortable with 2000, and it hasn't happened since.

I have only had this happen with Word, from the Office shortcut bar where is was pointing to c:\MSOFFICEPRO\PFiles\MSOFFICE\Office\winword.exe instead of c:\program files\MSOFFICE\OFFICE\winword.exe
(I have the whole cd copied to the users hard drives)
Do you have the same? is there another location where your excel.exe is stored?
