Windows7 puzzle

I have just installed Win7 64bit on a new machine, and found that the installer file in Windows/Installer that generates icons ({91140000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE} ) was missing (I had only 'default' icons for many progs including Office). I had been doing some 'housework' tidying up my 'old' Sata drives, and had deleted the Windows folder from the 32bit Win7 drive installation which seems to have caused the problem.

I had a look at 'Repair' via the Win7 64bit DVD but was told it was not the correct version for my OS??

I have restored the file from a backup now and restored all the icons (including Office) but cannot understand why I had that message.

Edit to add: Win7 is installed on a SSD if that makes any difference and the DVD is SP1

Edit 2:
I have now discovered that both the Win7 DVD and my repair disk cannot use the mouse on a USB3 port but only on a 2 or lower. That caused a little brow-furrowing too.
