Entourage 2004 comes with a copy of StuffitEngine that gets installed. You
must have cleaned it out. It's StuffitEngineShell.cfm in
/Library/CFMSupport/ on the root of your startup disk, not user. If I
remember correctly, Entourage 2004 came with v7.0.4  . (In my own case, I've
replaced it with v9.0.1 from Stuffit Deluxe.) I believe that version still
works.

So if it's not there, you could remove and reinstall Office 2004 and you'd
get it back, without having to buy anything. Use the Remove Office utility
in the Additional Tools folder of the Microsoft Office 2004 folder (it won't
touch your data), empty the Trash, then re-install Office from the CD.
StuffitEngineShell.cfm should be back and everything working again.

This needs to be in the /Library/CFMSupport/ folder of your current startup
drive. If you have several partitions you boot from, you could try just
copying from one CFMSupport/ folder  to the other. But there may be a few
more files needing /Library installation (not many, though).  to

PLEASE always state which version of Microsoft Office you are using - 2004,
X  or 2001. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise.
