...and I tried to reinstall Microsoft handheld sync and it failed because “Microsoft Component Plugin could not be found” even though it’s right there in the Office folder where Microsoft put it.
Wrong one. I think you're messing about with the X conduit, which is looking for a 10.1.x version of the component plugin. As soon as you install the 2004 version it will be happy with the 11.0.0 version of the plugin.
