Why would I receive an OLE registration error when I try to install Outlook 2000? I've reinstalled outlook/office 2000P multiple times but no change. I've also downloaded the latest service pack but no change. Please help.

If it didn't work with Microsoft Office 2000 Service Release 1/1a (SR-1/SR-1a), install Outlook Express because Outlook 2000 requires certain files shared with Outlook Express to run.

To install Outlook Express, follow these steps:

1. Insertthe Office 2000 Disc 1 into the CD-ROM drive.

2. Double-click to open the IE5 folder and then the EN folder

NOTE : The second folder may be different if your language version of Office is something other than English. For example, in the German language version, the second folder would be labeled "DE."

3. Double click Ie5setup to start the Windows installer.

4. Click to select I Accept the Agreement in the End User License Agreement and then click Next .

5. Ensure that Install Now - Typical set of components is selected and then click Next .

6. In Reinstall All Items , click to select Reinstall All Components and then click OK .

Outlook Express will be installed with this Typical Setup option.

I tried installing Outlook express and but then Outlook seemed to open with an express configuration. In other words, it seemed Outlook Express was the default mail application - not Outlook.
