The only idea I have is to install it again in order to rebuild/repair the
missing files and then uninstall it.
Uninstall entries ("removing it from the add / remove programs list") are
located in the registry at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
for x64 apps and
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
for the x86 apps
