Sounds to me like your registry is corrupt, or you've decided to install
activesync to a folder other than the default one. There are many settings
for activesync in the registry, I do not believe you can simple install
activesync over itself again, and expect it to work as before. While it's
possible to take the cab files and manually install them on your PocketPC, I
think its wishful thinking to assume that activesync will find the cabs and
install them correctly after being reinstalled.
