Actually if you have the executable, you can just enter on it and you'll be asked if you want to repair.

If you use the method you indicated, make sure the path that you paste in is surrounded by quotes. I don't use quite the same method. What I do is find the executable for the latest version, (which I know the path to), and, with it highlighted, I open the rename feature and paste the highlighted file to the clipboard. Then, I open the Run command, type the path with a backslash and then paste in that name. Then, I go to the end of that file name and press the following keys forward-slash type space repair Then, press enter. UAC will come up, so just press alt-Y to start the repair.
