Reinstalling Automator - How?!

Can someone tell me how to reinstall Automator? I have tried installing it from the Xcode tools, the AutomatorUpdate.pkg with no luck. Does anyone know where I can download it or how to reinstall it without reinstalling the entire system? Thanks!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hey,

Try Pacifist.

You can search around for Automator on your discs and just install it from there.

RKlein3412,

Pacifist 2.0.1 is a shareware application that opens Mac OS X .pkg package files, .dmg disk images, and .tar, .tgz, and .tar.gz file archives and allows you to extract individual files and folders out of them. This is useful, for instance, if an application which is installed by the operating system becomes damaged and needs to be reinstalled without the hassle of reinstalling all of Mac OS X.

Just to have a quick write-up for future reference, thanks both of you. Pacifist is a great program but Automator is a core package and to reinstall it can be found in /System/Library/CoreServices Automator.app to reinstall. Thanks for your help!
