File/EXE recovery

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general,microsoft.public.win2000.general (More info?)

I accidentally (used control Panel - Add/Remove program) to remove the wrong
application/EXE file from my system. The program's folder is still in the
system but the EXE and INI are gone. Right now, I can't find a copy of the
uninstalled software to reinstall it. I know the dependencies are still in
my system so I suspect recovering the EXE and INI file will most likely
help. Does any one know of a way... third party tool/magic words/prayers
that can enable me recover the files. Please HELPPPPPPPPP.

Thanks in advance

There are third party tools available that handle this, such as Emergency
Undelete from http://www.undelete.com/coverpage.asp and others. Deleting the
files only marks the space as available to use so the sooner you stop using
the drive the better chance you'll have of recovery.

Use System Restore to the last point before the errant uninstall.

AFAIK restore points would do nothing as far as deleted files are concerned.

Hi,

To try and retrieve your deleted files, you would want to use an undelete
utility. These are commonly available for free, and work on the premise that
the space the file formerly occupied has not been overwritten with new data
yet. Once that has occured, recovery requires more extensive (and expensive)
work with dedicated forensic tools by someone who knows what they are doing.

This one here works quite well for basic file recovery:

If the OS is WinXP, you post in a XP News Group. If the OS is Win2K, you post in a Win2K
News Group.

Not Both ! Your answer is OS dependent.

If I understood the description, he used Add/Remove to uninstall a
application. System Restore doesn't monitor User Data, but it should
restore the System State which includes applications that were on the
PC at the time the Restore Point was created.

For Windows XP Professional the System State data comprises only the
registry, COM+ Class Registration database, files under Windows File
Protection, and boot files.
