Outlook first run doesn't use .prf

I am in the process of building citrix servers, and I am having a problem
with the Outlook install on one server. After installing Office 2003 (using
a .mst I made that has the .ops and .prf file included in it), I can't get
outlook to use the .prf settings to auto configure the user on first start.
It is only happening on this server, as I have tried the exact same install
command on two other servers and it works fine. I have tried it both before
remapping the C: drive and after, and that didn't have an affect. I have
uninstalled office, deleted registry entries and program folders, rebooted
and it still doesn't work. I removed everything from Current User and
Default User in the registry too, and of course did change user
/install-execute when I did it.

The interesting thing is, that after I did that the last time, in the
programs menu when it highlights newly installed programs, outlook wasn't
highlighted, but all the other office ones were. This makes me think that
there is still something on there that I didn't get cleaned out and made the
computer think that outlook was still on there, which in turn keeps
preventing it from using that darn .prf file. Any ideas? I really don't
want to have to rebuild this server to get it to work.

Thanks!
