Our problems seem to be different so my experience may be of limited usefulness to you.
I have the stand-alone version of Photoshop so I am not familiar with the issues involved with the Suite.
The reason I spent so much time "debugging" this situation is because I didn't know what
effect a re-install would have.
I did a find on "required" and the files I found were in my (Mac)OS9 v.7 versions of the programs.
Since you now have multiple versions of the program on your system you may just want
to try and remove the progs and re-install.
Adobe may give some limited free support for installation problems but I'm not sure.
In my case the offending file was connected to the help system so it was not very critical.
It was missing a space where there should have been one. Photoshop just ignored it but ImageReady would start and then "unexpectedly quit".
I have a Mac. If you have a PC the Photoshop file structure may be completely different and my speculations are useless. Sorry I couldn't be of more help
