<Does the MS Investor site have enough information about the index components and weightings that you could reconstruct the missing data yourself? A close approximation might well be better than nothing at all.>

I looked for that kind of info when I started to make my own files and couldn't find any data on the weights. All they give you is a list of the companies in each index.

A close approximation might work, but you would have to save your altered file and paste the edited data back into the newly downloaded file every night or paste the current day's data into the edited file. Either way it would be a huge pain, especially if you have to edit 15 or 20 files or more, every night.
