install fails, email emergency, pleaes help!!

I am trying to install Outlook 2001 onto a new PowerBook
running Mac OSX 10.3.4.

After copying the files from the disk image that I
downloaded from the Microsoft website I launched
Outlook. The license agreement window came up and I
clicked the button to accept. The installation appeared
to continue with the installation of numerous files, then
terminated with an alert box containing the
message "Microsoft Outlook cannot write information
needed to complete installation." I am logged into this
computer as administrator.

How do I get Outlook to complete the installation process?

- Are you able to launch Classic from system Preferences..??
- Extract the Outlook files form the downloaded file, and then drag n drop
the Microsoft Outlook 2001 file to hard drive.
- Double click on Microsoft outlook Icon.
Let me know if it resolves it?

you mean just drag it from the unpacked file to the HD
and run setup? same error.

No need to run setup after that. Unpacked file will contain the main file.

I have this same problem!!! I've tried re-installing, re-copying - I continue to
get this error message. Doesn't matter if I'm logged in as admin or not. I've
checked the perms on: System Folder, Outlook folder, Documents folder -
all seem to be appropriate...any other suggestions?

Running 10.3.4, on G4's and G5's
