Cannot reinstall Office for Mac Home & Student 2011 after individual Outlook 2011 install

Hi,

Until yesterday, I had a MS Office for Mac Home & Student 2011 (Excel, Powerpoint, Word but NOT Outlook) installed on my computer (it is a legit version that I bought). I uninstalled it completely today because I could not install the free MS Outlook 2011 that comes with the Outlook Web Access (OWA). I need this Outlook for a couple of months in order to work from home. It works perfectly and is legit too. I did all the auto updates too.

The problem is that I cannot reinstall MS Office for Mac Home & Student 2011. The install works perfectly but when I want to start Excel, Powerpoint or Word, I have the MS Error Report that pops up with the following log:
Microsoft Error Reporting log version: 2.0

Please note that Outlook is still working.

Can you please help? I have two legit pieces of software and am really annoyed to have to choose.

Many thanks
