What version of Windows are you using?

I did a search on my XP Pro and found 5 instances of that file.

One in my Adobe Bridge folder  
One in my Illustrator folder  
Three in my WinSxS folder (buried in there)

i wonder what caused it? possibly saying yes all when your unistalling a application? might of been using a shared file and saying yes all deleted it?

That would be my guess. It looks like that is a shared .dll and a number of programs could of unistalled it if you said yes to that dialogue box.

Hopefully he will tell us what happened before he got this error message.
