I have lost many settings of the IDE, the IDE is not compiling, and other issues. I wanted to repair the installed product (Delphi XE2 Architect). But when I did this, the installer removed lots of files in the installation folder, even bds.exe.

I don't want to uninstall and reinstall.

I have also Delphi XE3 installed, and had the same problem, but I uninstalled it and installed it again, and now it's working.

How do I repair this?

If you have attempted a repair install without success then you only have one option left. Uninstall and reinstall.

The repair works fine, and shouldn't interfere with your XE3 install. If your IDE is broken to the point that you can't compile, a reinstall is probably the only way to fix it. A repair or reinstall should also leave your third-party components installed, as it doesn't replace anything in the registry.

(This is really a vendor support question, BTW, and since it's related to installation you can open a free support case at Embarcadero Support. The question isn't really appropriate for StackOverflow.)
