How to get the Solver Add-in

[SteveS]

I have a student whose Excel does not have the Solver add-in installed. Furthermore, he doesn't have the CD from which Office was installed. Is there some place where he can get the standard Microsoft Solver Add-in?
The Microsoft website says "You can obtain add-ins from the Microsoft Office Web site" but I can't figure out how.
Any help would be appreciated, by me and by my student who is unable to do the homework I assigned.

The only place to get the free Solver is the Office/Excel installation CD.

Frontline Systems (www.solver.com) offer trial versions of the various commercial versions of Solver.
