Problems with Office 2003 on Vista Business

P

I just setup my first Vista Machine today. I didn't get into an SBS
server because it's a new client, and they still have an NT4 server
with a highly-customized Solomon running on SQL.

Problem 1) Vista Business OEM & MS Office 2003 Basic OEM: Every
time the user starts an Office Application, he is required to accept
the EULA. I believe it has something to do with UAC and the Registry,
but all I could find was to accept the EULA as the Administrator,
which requires enabling the Administrator account and disabling all
other "Quasi-Administrator" accounts. Yikes - to accept a EULA? Any
help appreciated.

Problem 2) The user was running Outlook Express on an XP machine. I
copied the Outlook Express Data Folder and Address Book file to the
new Vista Machine. I happily started Windows Mail, didn't create an
account, and imported the address book and OE email folder. No
problem. But I cannot get Outlook to see Windows Mail and import the
mail and addresses, and I cannot get Windows Mail to do any sort of
meaningful Export that will subsequently import into Outlook! Problem.
Is it because I did not actually create an account in Windows Mail, or
is there another way? There is an Exchange Export in Windows Mail, and
I see it work but I have no idea what it's creating or where.

Any guidance appreciated.
