error 1606

[Guest]

I went into my computer files and mistakenly deleted some important files. I
was doing this to clean up. Not being computer intellegent; I erased or
deleted files that are necessary. I cannot "install" Windows updates; I
cannot "install" Windows Media Player (and I had this at one time); I
recieved the above error code when trying to "install" Fix-It Utilities 6
program.

Another argument against wholesale 'cleaning' of a computer.

Start here:

"You receive an "Error 1606" error message when you try to install or remove
a Microsoft program"

Start by using System Restore to roll back to a date before the 'clean up'.

This is turning into an expensive lesson.
