Reinstalling the game without redownloading it

I have updated my hardware and reinstalled my OS recently. Now I would like to run the game, but every time I launch the launcher I get a 209 error. Is there any way to make it work without deleting all existing folders redownloading all that huge amount of data.
P.S.
My installation directory was at D:\games instead of default one, so it stayed intact while reinstalling the system.

    I've reinstall the OS again. And now the launcher is downloading the gaim from scratch.

    I usually do not have problems bypassing the download, as long as the Launcher runs so I can do a Repair (which just checks but rarely downloads anything)

    Does it work if you run the ESO executable directly?

    Edit: can you run a repair from the Launcher, and does it start downloading files?
