How do I install Outlook Pocket Contact Synchronizer when the install program
returns "missing opcs.msi". I've detected and repaired my XP OS and XP
Professional as well as Outlook but to no avail. I used this on last computer
to synch PDA with Contacts in Outlook.

Did you try downloading a fresh copy?

However, ActiveSync may be a better choice if you intend to sync only the
default folders.

I did download and install a fresh copy, tried it at least twice. After I
start the install of OPCS.exe I get a pop up box asking for location of
OPCS.msi. I've searched my entire computer and server as well, even hidden
folders etc., but there is no such file anywhere. I was happy with the way
this program worked on an older computer, the synchronization was a bit more
robust as I synch personal contacts as well as several public folders of
clients and other categories.

When you run Opcs.exe, it should expand itself into a temporary folder that
conatins OPCS.msi. The default location for that file is the folder
%temp%\IPX000.TMP. Try running the OPCS.EXE program and at whatever point
it stops, don't click anything, just open Windows Explorer and, in the
Address field, enter %temp% and click Go. You should see the IPXnnn.TMP
folder. double click and see if there's an OPCS.msi file there. If not,
there is a change you don't have permission to write in your own %temp%
folder. If you do see the msi file, copy it somewhere, cancel out of
whatever OPCS.EXE is prompting, then go mack to the msi file you copied,
right-click and choose Install.
