Office Setup Engine – OSE.EXE

Microsoft Describes the Office Setup Engine as follows:
"When users install Microsoft® Office 2003 from the CD or from a compressed CD image on the network, Setup uses a system service named Office Source Engine (Ose.exe) to copy required installation files to a hidden folder on the local computer. Windows Installer uses this local installation source to install Office, and the local source remains available for repairing, reinstalling, or updating Office later on. Users can install features on demand or run Setup in maintenance mode to add new features.">. More info can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2003/two/ch3/DepC06.htm. If you're running a single-user version of Microsoft Office and if you don't mind reinstalling or changing setup info from the original Microsoft CD, then you can probably do without this file.
