A bit different error 1607

1607: Unable to Install InstallShield Scripting Runtime.

Although this seems like it's the issue, I did not do any updating. The
only thing I changed about my system was a defrag. When I defragged, I
created errors on my hard drive.

I have lost music, pictures, and it would seem, iTunes, and some other
applications. I am getting this error on an attempt to re-install iTunes.
Yes, that's re-install. I've tried the same installer I used, and I've tried
a brand new installer. The same runtime error occurs.

I have updated my Windows Installer to 3.1 since this issue began, and I'm
running SP1.

The other error I'm getting is on a cyclic redundancy check. This is how
I've lost most of the files it would seem (and parts of files).

I blame defragmenter for this, but I really don't know how to fix it. I
tried a system restore, but that doesn't replace the placement of my files.
I would think that some of these files have been moved incorrectly by defrag.

My real issue, is I need to be able to install things again. I can deal
with the loss of pictures and music. Keep in mind that I have ALWAYS been
able to install anything I've wanted and HAD iTunes installed before this
mess.

Thanks for any help.
