SQL Server Error Message

Hi

I've done something majorly stupid and hope there is someone who can help me out.

Yesterday I was deleting programs that I thought we weren't using but have deleted one (or two!!) that I probably shouldn't. I have tried system restore but when the PC restarts it comes up with the following message "SQL Dumper library failed initialization. Your installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with. Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem".

Microsoft SQL Server Client was one of the programs I removed along with Microsoft Office Professional Edition, which I thougt was something my other half had downloaded. In hindsight I think he had downloaded Business Edition which I think I may have actually removed months ago.

Is this irreparable?

Any help would be much appreciated.
