The Windows Installer is now a program that gets installed in Windows so that all new programs and Windows Updates do not have to include a complete copy of the Installer program. You need to install a new copy of the Windows Installer (or go through the pain of finding all of it program files and moving them along with all of its Registry entries). This program can be downloaded and installed from the Microsoft Web site.

But before you do that, you would be better off Installing Windows ME back into the C:\Windows folder. As you are finding out, not all programs know how to find their installation files if they are not in the C:\Windows folder or if the folder they installed in is not there. A lot of work to do it all over again. But there will be many entries in the Registry still pointing to C:\Windows and its subfolders.

You can bring up REGEDIT and use the FIND function to search for C:\Windows to see how many entries still point to there and its sub folders.
