Accessing/Moving Programs from Windows.old?

I have a bit of a problem. I have re-installed most all of my programs back
onto my computer after installing Vista. With the exception of my MS
Frontpage program. The CD gets half way thru' the installation and informs
me that the file is corrupt. It will not install I upgraded to Vista
using the 'clean install' without formatting or upgrading onto the current
partition. Vista has created a Windows.old file. I found the Frontpage
application (in the old Office10 file in the windows.old) I click on the
application it begins to open. Asks me if I want to set it to be my default
html application. I click yes than it says 'Microsoft FrontPage has not been
installed for the current user. Please run setup to install application.' Is
there a way I can't get my Frontpage program to run/install from the
windows.old file since the CD is damaged? I don't want to have to purchase
the program when I have it already. Any ideas?

you can do this at your own risk but since you probaly have a cd key you
could just try a torrent site, but again do this at your own risk. i have
gotten old programs this way with no problems.
