Search Companion File Missing

[Kat]

Search Companion has worked for months and suddenly quit
working today. I get the error message that says "A file
that is required to run search companion cannot be found.
You may need to run setup." I found a Knowledge Base
article on this subject - KB319949, but it did not fix
the problem.

I tried all three of the resolution methods listed in the
KB article, and none of them worked. (Method 1:
Installed SP1a, which did not work, then Method 2: tried
to run the hotfix, but it would not run because it
requires no service packs, then Method 3: ran
Srchasst.inf Install.) None of these fixed my problem.
Need to be able to search for files... please help!

Thank you,
Kat
