For OSX 10.7 and above you can try fixing it using the Python Script and Terminal app. If you succeed, this will save you from Plan B, reinstalling Photoshop and illustrator plus all the updates.

Open Terminal

Follow the instructions, and when done, you can quit the Terminal.
It should then be repaired. Try starting your programs.
