Yes perhaps it is responsible, see its log of removed files to be sure... Also if u havent noticed/done so, plz do a complete install and not part install of yr office if problem persists...

it is most likely dat d junk file remover which is d culprit. i 2 was using a junk file remover sw which when I ran showed up a *.bak/*.bat/*.dat file located in d Office XP folder [dun remember d exact extension as i stopped using MS Office long back]. Once deleated i used 2 get d very same message as u.

Solution
If u r using d SW called 'Find Junk Files', as I am using when i faced this problem, then you can just add d file name to d list of files to overlook while scanning 4 junk files. me think u can also do it directly by selecting d concerned file from d list of junk files shown, right clicking on it and select d option which will stop searching 4 d file during d next scan
4 any other sw 2 there must b a similar option 2 do so.

Nah, even after complete install it happen many times.....simply put office cd and get rid of the problem once n for all! It happened with me when i installed perfect disk.

but me think as long as d junk file removing sw keeps detecting d office file and our friend here keeps deleating d same, problem will persist

there-in lies the co-incidence which is actually responsible for the missing files. I suggest remove that s/w and keep some other good/reliable one like the cleaner of System mechanic 6 etc...
