Problem with importing Outlook PRF-file after Office 2003 SP3

[Wokkeltje]

I use the folowing vbs to import a prf file to configure an Outlook
profile
This feature always worked, but after Offcie 2003 SP3 not anymore.
reinstall office without SP3 solves the problem

WSHShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Setup
\ImportPRF", %PRFfile+ path% , "REG_SZ"

I don't think it is syntax related (because it always worked).

Is there anybody that also experienced this problem.

my server is W2K3 SP2 with all patches
same machine without SP3 and all other Office hotfixes worked also.
my conclusion is that this is directly related to SP3

You als have to set the following keys
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Setup]
"FirstRun"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"First-Run"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00

Which should initiate the Import.

My problem is that its asking me if I want to add a add-on which I
didn't speficied. The PRF to be imported hasn't changed as there is no
need for change. I just patched the admin point.

Did you noticed this?
