Outlook Error

[ZaForD]

Hi guys, i'm getting an error when i open Outlook Express, this has started since i added some reg tweaks to my UA disk.

I'm hoping some here can help me track it down.

I followed the guides advice by using a HKCU.reg run by the cmdline.txt and a HKLM.reg run from RunOnceEx.cmd. Everything installs fine, and seems to work untill I try to open Outlook Express, when i get this error.

I tested both Reg files from the desktop, before I added them to the UA disk without any problems.

Its only when use them on the UA disk that i get this error.

Anyone got an ideas ?

I had this probleme too in the apst, and i never find what was the source of this problem ! I think (not sure) this is due to hotfix (wich one i don't know) maybe a IE or OE hotfix break another one, or something like this.

Anyway i had a solution put this into a cmd file (or bat) and execute it during runoncegui.

little explanation if you delete hkcu/Identities, and then rerun OE => you recreate the subkeys under Identities (wich is your pb!). This subkeys is your identities (let's your profile) into OE.

Using this cmd file, delete and then recreate a subkeys, problem is corrected ^^

Other keys like: REG ADD "HKCU\Identities\%default_identity%..................

is usefull for setting OE you can use this or not, this indepedant from the "identities" problem (reg delete...)

So now you know what to do/execute ^^

ps: poor english isn'it it, perhaps my taillor is not so rich :-)
