I deleted Windows\Installer folder, is there a chance to repair? - Super User
ok it seems i can run office programs (word, excel, outlok ) directly from office folder in programs folder.....now all i gotta do is fix shortcuts in start menu, or?
Are you saying that MS Office no longer appears in "Programs and Features"?
If it is still in that list you may be able to repair it:
- Right click on the MS Office entry
- Choose "Change"
- Choose "Repair" in the Office dialogue window

We seem to be having some communication problems.
Here are some screenshots.Step 1I don't use Outlook.
"Programs and Features"
Step 2
Right click on the MS Office entry and choose "Change"
or
Left click on the MS Office entry and choose "Change" from the Command Bar
Step 3
Choose "Repair" in the Office dialogue window
I don't know if MS Office Repair resets all of your settings (Reinstall will probably destroy them).
Make a Backup Image before attempting any repairs/reinstalls.
I prefer to use Macrium Reflect Free Edition.
After you install it, create a recovery CD/USB
Then create your Backup Image.
Make sure you use the "Verify" option, or verify the image after you have made it.

If anything goes wrong, you can restore your PC using the Backup Image
when i click on change just 1st screen shows then nothing
Do you still have the original MS Office installation disc?
If the answer is yes, I would create a Backup Image and then try loading the MS Office installation disc.
It may detect your Office install and offer you the "Repair" option.
When I run my original MS Office installation disc, I see the same dialogue window that I posted above (screenshot 3).
If your installer info and/or MSOCache have been deleted you might not get those options.
yeah, it's not working either, i think i'll just reinstall whole windows again.

I JUST RUN this diagnostic

and got this report

127 Missing Cache Product Files (.MSI)
239 Missing Cache Patch Files (.MSP)

and details below mostly:
"This .msp appears to be missing. Machine needs to be rebuilt." etc

I don't personally use Outlook myself but I found these links that might be helpful.
