Playing with beta software - I lost Infopath - 09/02/2015 23:15

Well, in my overzealous greed for the latest and greatest I went ahead and downloaded the Office 2016 preview. It "updated" my existing Office 2013 programs and in the process it deleted Infopath. I use this occasionally for work, and I need it back.

Is there anyone here familiar with the Office suite and how these betas work? I'd like to not have to roll back the entire suite, but since Infopath is no longer published I think this might be the only way I can get it back. Any way at all to just install Infopath as a stand alone program? I searched around the MS site but didn't find anything.

If you have the install discs or files for the previous version of office, you should be able to customize the install and have it skip all but Infopath.

I think I have the discs somewhere around here. I actually saw that I did indeed order the backup discs when I had to go back to the MS site to get the installation key.
