hum; have you ever try this option? the \repair directory is minimal and
the registry files there are NEVER updated from an install; ergo
anything you've installed will be lost in the sense that the necessary
registry entries will be missing even though all the files are still
present ;(

here's one kb article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312368/en-us

another http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312369/en-us

the procedure referencing the \repair folder is only STEP-1 of a THREE
step process documented here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545/en-us

following all three steps is fruitful (ie it works well) as I can attest
from my need to recover a corrupt registry
