>On finally getting hold of the person who had set up the machine in the first place, it seems he'd seen fit to install them in a directory called C:\TEMP which had then been deleted by a subsequent user who assumed that the contents of that folder would be a good candidate for purging to free up disk space
One of the first line helpdesk people I worked with thought it would be a good idea to remove the contents of C:\windows to clear some space. All was fine until the server needed a DLL that no longer existed and collapsed into a steaming pile. Typically, it was the main DC for the site and domain, so all the FSMO roles were owned by it too...
