You should make backups of any downloaded software you have installed.

These little apps can be a pain to track down, I usually keep setup.exe files in a separate folder as I go to simplify things when Windows goes Schizo and needs a labotomy.

good luck with the reinstall

This is something that you have to do on a regular basis? WHY??

Did you ever try doing a "repair install" instead?
