Entourage won't start

[Hans_Springer]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel

L.s.

After installing the Dutch version over a English version of Office 2008.
I can't start Entourage anymore. I get an error message that the rules file is damaged and that i can't use rules. When i click on ok Entourage quites.

Anyone, an idea what i can do to correct this error.

With kind regards

I suspect you have to uninstall aand reinstall (then re-update) Office.
I don't know whether you can trust the preference files either. I'm not
sure I'd keep them,

Hi Hans,

Thanks for the suggestion. Found a solution. Just deleted the rules file
and entourage started up correctly.

I wonder whether your installation now containes resources for both
localization of the application.
It might turn out to be a problem for updating the app in the future,
