RE: OUTLOOK 2007 BETA

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hello Patrick

I have MS Office 2003 Home Edition. I downloaded the patches for 2003 and
also the conversion to 2007 on the MS site and they wouldn't run. The error
message that came up was there wasn't something that it expected it to find
and it wasn't there. I keep all my software up to date and MS Office is no
exception so all patches were up to date.

I then proceeded to download the MS Office Pro 2007 Beta following the step
by step on the MS site which i managed to do successfully. Steps were hit
download, watch progress bar and then follow wizard for installing. During
the loading it said that it was re writing some registry along with other
progress reports. After loading i rebooted several times to test that
everything was ok and checked my email box each time after this. After this
2003 was no longer usable and i got the missing DLL file report. I assumed
that it had rewritten the programme and changed my shortcuts to those of the
2007 version and my emails were fine. I also ran Word, PP, Excel and Access
and all was fine. However, the next day when i logged on again i clicked my
shortcut and the error messages started. Again i ran Word, PP etc and they
were all fine.

I assumed that 2007 was installed alongside 2003, i suppose i assumed this
because in my Office folder in the programs listing 2003 was listed
seperately to 2007 software.

Just for info i have access to a Hotmail address and my partner a BT
Internet address and it happened to both and run on a DSL line.

Hope this is some help.

Ziggy.

To everyone who is posting/reading this thread: If you had Outlook 2003
still on your computer after installing 2007, please let me know
a) why you think 2003 was still on the computer
b) what 2003 suite you had installed
c) was 2003 fully patched
d) how did you install 2007 (step by step if possible)
I am tying to reproduce this problem on a computer, but just cannot
figure out why some users are having it. 2007 setup should remove 2003
completely, but for some of you this isn't happening.

Thanks,.

Hi Thor

Just read another entry and it says that you can run 2003 and 2007 alongside
but only one version of outlook...see entry for Office Pro 2007 by H.W. which
give instructions on how to load using custom install. It was only outlook
that i was having probs with everything else seemed fine so might give this a
whirl.

Hi Thor,

Unfortunately my Outlook 03 wouldn't work either. So i uninstalled all the
Office 2007 and office 2003. Then reinstalled 2003 and bingo i could get my
emails again....i didn't even have to set up the accounts again so received
all my emails immediately.

Shame really as i liked the Office 2007 but couldn't see what the prob was
and reinstalling/repair never fixed it and it had disabled my office 2003.

Hello I installed Office 2007 Beta and the outlook was working fine. Then
suddenly out of the blue it says i get a message saying 'either there is no
default email or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging
request. Please run MS office Outllok and set it a the default mail client'.
If i go into tools to try and set the default mail client i get the message
'The opeation falied becasue of a registry or installation problem. Restart
Outlook and try again. If the problem persists, reinstall', which i've done
but it's just the same. If i click receive/send it eventually says ' the
file Exsec32.dll is incompatiable with MS office outlook'. Install outlook
again. Everything else works fine in Office but just Outlook and Outlook was
working hunkey dorey until this.

Any ideas/suggestions anyone?

Thanks.

Ziggy.
