Office 2007 Beta 2 Crashed & now no Outlook 7 OR 2003!

[Stephanie Monique]

Office 7 Beta 2 Crashed when I was trying to install it.

Once I restarted, I redownloaded Office 2007 Beta, however it said the prior
installation was suspended & it would have to backtrack to my old
installations before reinstalling Beta 2...

....At which point it said it couldn't restore my Outlook 2003. Nor did it
give me the option to install Outlook Beta 2. So I'm stuck with e-mail
program!

When I try to start Outlook using my 2003 shortcuts (which it managed to
restore), I get this error:

"Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. MAPI32.DLL is corrupt or the wrong
version. This could have been caused by installing other messaging software.
Please reinstall Outlook."

Thing is I don't have the 2003 disk ... It was just downloaded online.

Any ideas on how I can reinstall Outlook 2003 or perhaps just that part of
Office 7 Beta?

Thank you in advance!

1. Serves you right for downloading Office 2003 online from a warez source
probably.

2. Why in the world would you think about running a beta on your production
machine?

Hi, Milly.

Actually my Office 2003 version is legitimate & validatable. Just bad
management of files on my part.

I do have other machines to use, this is just my favorite.

Thank you for trying to help though!

By the way, I upgraded to Office 2003 on this machine from a trial version
last year, so that may be why I don't have a disk!

When you purchase the trial version, they will send you the CDs via snail
mail after they email you the PID to convert.
