WGSETUP in project 2002 with outlook 2002

[Espen Tor?n]

My project is using Project 2002 Workroup message handler (installed
by WGSETUP), but when opening a mail with a teamupdate object
(mspj.mtm) i get an error message saying there was an OLE
initialization problem. I am also asked to reinstall the workgroup
feature.

Starting openmail.exe without any arguments gives a message that I
don't have any project tasks in Outlook database. Starting
opoenmail.exe with any argument (including the mspj.mtm as first
argument) gives the OLE initialixation problem message.

Does anyone else have had this problem? I'm using Outlook 2002 SP2
(English) as mail program, Project 2002 standard (English) to handle
the project. Everytning is running on Windows XP pro SP 1 (English).
My client company uses Exchange for mail handling. I have reinstalled
the workgroup feature a number of times, ran detect and repair on
project and outlook I have also reinstalled Office XP professional.

I'm out of other thing to try. Anyone have a hint? Any debugging
options I can try? All tips are welcome.
