I have installed Office 97 on windows xp pro.
As an administrator I can run outlook but when a domain user tries she get message: "The program is not registered properly. Please run setup again. You don't have appropriate permission to perform this operation." I have re-installed Office 97 but same error happens.
Can anyone tell me if outlook 97 actually works on XP. If so, what needs to be configured? We are not using outlook as a mail product, only for contacts and calendar.
I triedto run the SR1 and SR2 service packs and had no luck running them either for Office 97.

Outlook 97 was so full of bugs it is unreal. It hardly ran on windows 98. You would do well to upgrade to at least 2000.
