body: <p>I am using Meteor 1.4.3.2 on a windows7 dev environment. </p>
  
  <p>A Meteor application I have developed has been great for 6+ months but I have caused a problem by removing modules and apparently something I should not have.
  Something outside the application folders (sym-link pointing into \AppData\Local.meteor.. somewhere) is missing/wrong, I think.</p>
  
  <p>All other projects are fine, except this one. </p>
  
  <p>All of my backup copies for this project are failing now too, including fresh clone from repo.
  No 'meteor' commands will in this project, or it's backup copies, so 'meteor reset' is not an option.</p>
  
  <p>The error is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\muser\iNotice&gt;meteor

  <p>Any suggestions on best approach to fix the application?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks very much for your time and expertise.</p>
