Mine has 20 folders with "mediacenter" in their name, and there are a total of 52 files within those folders.

So it looks like you have an incomplete install:
- You have the WMC components in the store.
- You have the WMC program folder c:\windows\ehome. Mine is 112MB with 193 files and 20 folders.
- You don't have the WMC services installed.
Are you up-to-date with updates for Windows 7 and have Service Pack 1 installed?
I presume that there is no start menu item for WMC or is there?
What happens when you run WMC manually using c:\windows\ehome\ehshell.exe?
Try installing/registering the WMC services. I copied these commmands from a
Microsoft Technet forum.

I'm not sure if you'll get a message when unregistering the services which aren't installed. Check that the services are now installed by using Task Manager or running services.msc.
