I had an idea this morning and turned off cached mode. That proved to be a work around for the installer window problem. The anti-phishing features and the option to allow blocked content still don't show up, but I can live with that.

It's a desktop. It's installed off the Outlook 2003 CD from SBS 2003 and patched to SP2. The installer says "Please wait while Windows configured Microsoft Outlook 2003", it says it's gathering information, the progress bar flashes a couple times, and the window goes away. The app log entries are some from Windows Restart Manager (2 10000, a 10004 which reports registering 1 file, and 2 10001) and an MSI Installer message (11728) indicating that Outlook 2003 configuration completed successfully. There's a whole slew of odd Information event 2 and 62 about OUTLOOK.EXE overriding power management settings and svchost updating the system timer resolution.

This is a network environment. Exchange 2003 SP2 (running on SBS 2003 Premium SP1). I installed only Outlook. The machine is in the domain and I am using it logged in as a domain user without administrator rights. Outlook does connect to the Exchange server, but a couple features aren't working right and it's running some little installer for every single new message. If I have 100 new messages, I have to start Outlook and wander off for a bit while Outlook runs the little installer 100 times. If I send a new message, that adds a new message to my Sent Items, so I get the installer running once more for every message...

I finally got around to installing 5270 and everything is working well enough, except Outlook. I'm running 2003 SP2 with an Exchange server and for every message it grabs it pops up a "Windows is configuring Microsoft Outlook" window. It's similar to what it does when a user has run Outlook the first time, but it goes through and does it once for every single message. I also am not getting the messages at the top of the message window that give you the option to enable links or view HTML in messages that it blocked those on. I've looked around and I haven't seen anyone else commenting on these issues so far. Has anyone else seen this and/or know how to resolve it?
