Inadvertently removed some files from Office Installer folder

[James]

Some files from my Office installer folder have been
removed when I ran "repair" in add/remove programs
(control panel) for office. i received error messages
indicating that certain files couldn't be located and the
repair function therefore stops. a lot of the files that
are missing begin with/or is a variation of the following:

c:\winnt\installer\pfiles\msoffice\office\

for example:

c:\winnt\installer\pfiles\msoffice\office\mso7ftp.exe
c:\winnt\installer\pfiles\msoffice\office\mso7ftpa.exe
c:\winnt\installer\pfiles\msoffice\office\mso7ftps.exe
etc.


now, what happens is whenever i try t open word, excel or
pointpoint, a windows installer window pops up and
says "preparing to install". again, the install function
stops when certain files (from the above location)
couldn't be found. when i hit cancel, i get an error
message "fatal error during installation".

what is happening? can i fix this?

any help would be great.

thanks!!
