Installing Windows Office Outlook 2003 on laptop with XP

[Polcat]

After installation this message appears and aborts the opening of Outlook:

"Cannot start MS Office Outlook MAP132.DLL is corrupt or wrong version.
This could have been caused by installking other messaging software. Please
reinstall Outlook. ( I have done it repeatedly with no success). I am
desperate as I need this for my work. Any help will be appreciated.

Polcat,
This is what I found...try it.

Close Outlook 2003. Start Windows Explorer or My Computer, and use it
to rename the "C:\Program Files\Common
Files\System\MSMAPI\1033\MSMAPI32.DLL" file to MSMAPI32.OLD. When you
start Outlook 2003, the program should repair itself.

I note you have helped another user with a Outlook issue. Possibly you can
help me. I have tried to reload my Office 2003 and receive the following
message: "ERROR:1335 The cabinet file 'PCW_CAB_H15057_1' is corupted. This
could be a network error, an error from the CD-ROM or a problem with the
package." Any suggestions??
