Accidental removal of some laravel files with composer install/update, how to retrieve?

I was trying to move the packages from my require-dev to require in composer.json, and accidentally created a second require object when there was already one above the autoload object and called composer update. It then began deleting my laravel install and I quickly pressed ctrl+c.

But now I'm getting an error saying Fatal error: Interface 'Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\HttpKernelInterface' not found when I visit my website, or try running composer install/update again.

Is there any way to recover from this?

These are teh files that were deleted:

C:\xampp\htdocs\project>composer update

Don't worry, you shouldn't loose anything of your application. It was basically removing things in the vendor folder, which are pretty much removable at any time without prejudice for your application source files, but yes, without them your application will not work, so:

Just get your composer.json back in its feets:

"require": {
    "laravel/framework": "4.1.*",
},

Completely remove your vendor folder:

del C:\xampp\htdocs\project\vendor\*.* /s

And then:

composer update

Again
