Sharing Office 2007 installation

I've just managed to install a working version of Vista RC1, and I've been
using the Office 2007 beta for quite some time on Win XP.

Can I install Office on my Vista drive by using the program files on my XP
hard drive? Obviously it'll need to adjust registry keys and all that, but
could I share the files, and how would I install Office on my Vista drive?

You need to install it the same way you did on the XP drive,by running the
installer.

And if I don't have the original setup file that I d/led, what do I run then?

It needs to be installed from the original media. An installed app, except
for the most simple, can't be effectively moved from one OS installation to
another.

If you don't have it, you need to re-download it, kind of simple when you
think about it.
