I believe they are available on the Autocomplete wiki page[1]. I haven't 
tried auto-install yet, So can't say these will fix it. But 
auto-install.el is supposed to pull in all the *.el files that are 
required by auto-complete.el. And since the stable version of 
auto-install.el was released early this May[2], there is a chance you 
might have hit a bug. Worth checking imo.
