Receive Windows Installer error 1605 when loading

[Sophia Thompson]

Hired a tech for $$$ to transfer old templates from my
old Windows ME to my new notebook running XP. When the
templates would not load properly the technician deleted
them. Now I receive an Windows Installer Error
preventing me from loading Publisher 2003 at all. Could
you give me some idea what file might have been deleted
in error that would cause such a problem and how I can
retrieve a replacement. Is there a list of files where I
can compare what is missing from the application? The
package came bundled with the notebook and I don't want
to have to do a system restore losing configurations.
All other programs run fine, just Publisher. Please
advise and thank you so much in advance.

The templates you say that were deleted, were they part of the Publisher 2003
application? You refer to them as old...
The only reference I can find about this error concerns Word, it may help
