We know the normal, full functionality of Outlook won't be available w/out OE, but we are looking to install Outlook XP (2002) strictly for purposes of viewing/editing the contacts & calendar data. This is for a WinFLP installation that allowed the OS to be setup without IE, OE & WMP. Installing the Office suite, including Outlook, succeeds (noting errors registering MsRclr40.dll & VEN2232.olb). Outlook will not run, though, complaining that OE is not installed. Again, we are only looking to use Outlook to work with PST files (which OE does not support) and NOT trying to access eMail, newsgroups, etc... ThaNX
