I'll assume this is your eCS installation. Selective install is
problematic on eCS. It's basically been removed from eCS 2.0

It's rarely a good idea to try this just becase.

Hard to say what you broke. You should never experiment with things you
are not sure about without first making a backup. Based on the fact that
you said nothing about a restore resolving the problem, I'll assume you
did not have any backups.

My recommendataion about experiements stands.
