Outlook is not installed for this user

[David Gondek]

When I try to open Outlook 2003 I get this error message:

'Outlook is not installed for this user'

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, repairing and creating a new profile.
Nothing worked.

Then I created a new user account in Windows XP and Outlook works fine in
this account. It did say that there was a conflict with a recently
installed program (which it didn't identify) and asked if it should fix it.
I clicked yes and the rest of the setup went fine. I imported the
information from the pst file from the other account and that went fine too.
However, it still won't work in the original user account. Both accounts
are administrator accounts.

I suppose I should just leave well enough alone but it would be nice to
figure out what the problem is and find a solution.

Any ideas out there?

I will answer your question if you answer mine.

Alright, I'm joking. I have no idea how to answer yours.

But I sure could use some help on mine.

I can only guess what the problem is based on the subject... usual cause of
problems for other windows acct is not installing outlook using the admin
account.
