How can I remove Outlook Express through .reg files, or any form of scripting?

You can use nlite or google. Here is a good tutorial. If you remove outlook express after office outlook installation, you can use the office outlook.

In theory, this should work, I tested it

remove outlook express.cmd

@echo off
@cls
CMDOW @ /HID

reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express" /va /f 
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WAB" /va /f
reg delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities" /va /f
reg delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express" /va /f

Some files are in use when you try to mod or delete them but if it's in an unattended setup, it should work.
