  That's probably overkill.  It should also have been possible to just re-run
setup.exe, choosing "Install from local directory", and clicking 'next' all
the way through without changing the settings; when you do that, setup should
verify your existing install and replace anything that's missing.

  I'm curious what went wrong when you tried this one of the solutions:

  That should have also worked.
