Office (Outlook) 2003 MSI Failure

[Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]]

Are you the admin? If not, ask the admin for assistance since we would not
know what parameters your organization put into the installer script.

If you are the admin, then recheck your script using the Office Resource
Kit. http://office.microsoft.com/ork for your version.

| Hello Milly
|
| I was using the setupolk.exe file - perhaps named by MS or renamed by

|| Have you tried using the .exe rather than the .msi?

||| Hello everyone,

|||
||| I have been trying for days to install Outlook 2003 at work. The MS
||| Installer is not cooperating.
|||
||| I already ran the installer cleanup utility. I'm running XP SP2,
||| completely updated. Can someone please suggest what may be the
||| problem? I have done extensive google groups searches, and have not
||| come up with a solution.
|||
||| The installer log is over 6mb, so I have only attached the portions
||| that looked "interesting"

Hey Milly,

I'm the admin on my machine, but not the admin that put the install package
together.

I have friends at work who have installed O2k3 with no problems whatsoever,
yet it keeps crashing every single time with me.

I'm not clueless - although when it comes to the installer routines, I'll
admit I am.

My IT department, while decent, isn't going to debug this - they'll
probably want to re-core my machine, which they don't have a coreload for
anyway... So hopefully I will find the solution.

If the office resource kit is the way to go - can you give me some basic
pointers?

Thanks
