MS Entourage doesn't start: Application Launch Failure

E

eddyholland

Hi Guys
I recently upgraded from a Powerbook G4 to an intel dual-core Macbook
Pro;
and now my Entourage doesn't work anymore, although other MS Office
apps do work.
Immediately on launching Entourage it reports:
"Application Launch Failure"
the application could not be launched because of a shared library
error: <Microsoft Entourage><StuffitEngineSDKLib><><>

My new configuration is: MacBook Pro 2Ghz intel duo, 512Mb, OSX v
10.4.6

Well when I upgraded to the MacBook Pro, my old Powerbook was dying; so
I took it into the Genius bar and they did a take-apart, put the old
HDD in an external drive bay and copied over all my files :)
However, not the MS applications.

So I installed the MS Office:mac (2004) from my original install disk,
registered it and all.

The other apps work, but not entourage.

What I tried:
After, I installed also the latest Stuffit Expander (v11)
After, I did an uninstall of the freebie Office:mac trial (3months)
After, I did a complete uninstall of all Office applications and moved
to trash the Office folder and deleted the icons.
I did a disk check and permissions check (disk utility)
I did a complete, clean re-install of Office:mac
I did a full set of updates, now to 11.2.6
- although Entourage itself is on 11.2.5 version

This has not fixed the problem, it still complains as before of
"Application Launch Failure" - what is going on?

Please help

thank you in advance,
-- Eddy
