Eula and Import Problems Office 2003 on Windows Vista

[Philip Mollica]

I just setup my first Vista Machine today.

Problem 1) Vista Business OEM & MS Office 2003 Basic OEM: Every time the
user starts an Office Application, he is required to accept the EULA. I
believe it has something to do with UAC and the Registry, but all I could
find was to accept the EULA as the Administrator, which requires enabling the
Administrator account and disabling all other “Quasi-Administrator†accounts.
Yikes – to accept a EULA? Any help appreciated.

Problem 2) The user was running Outlook Express on an XP machine. I
copied the Outlook Express Data Folder and Address Book file to the new Vista
Machine. I happily started Windows Mail, didn’t create an account, and
imported the address book and OE email folder. No problem. But I cannot get
Outlook to see Windows Mail and import the mail and addresses, and I cannot
get Windows Mail to do any sort of meaningful Export that will subsequently
import into Outlook! Problem. Is it because I did not actually create an
account in Windows Mail, or is there another way? There is an Exchange Export
in Windows Mail, and I see it work but I have no idea what it’s creating or
where.

Any guidance appreciated.
