MSOcache file lost with dead drive

I have had a hard drive that has started playing up over the last few months and managed to move the majority of stuff off it. I did however leave the msocache file on there and didn't get around to moving it. Unfortunately it now looks like the drive has just given up the ghost. Do I need to worry that I have lost this file?

No, it's just a local copy of your Office installation files to avoid having to use the CD for repairing etc. When you reinstall Office it'll return on it's own.

Thanks for the quick reply. Just so I can be certain, will all my current Office applications should still run ok? I don't plan on reinstalling Office any time soon.

Will probably ask for CD if required rather than using local cache, so should be no trouble.
