I used SQL developer edition in my pc.
By accident, I deleted some files in installed folder.
Now, I can not open management studio.
I tried to re-install it, but keep on telling me that components are already installed.
How to fix it without uninstall it?

Doesn't the installation give you an option to repair rather than to install?

No. There is no "Repair" option.

1. Restore the files from the Recycle Bin
2. Restore the files from your computer backup
3. Uninstall/reinstall
