Re: Installing Outlook 2007 in different partition / OS / User erased rules?

I lost the rules from a separate installation of Outlook 2003 when I
installed Office 2007. Office 2007 was installed for a different user on a
different partition under a different operating system. Completely separate
Outlook.pst files on different drives and partitions.
I want to get my rules back in my working Outlook 2003 installation. I don't
know how to do this. I do have an existing rwz file from a couple of months
ago as well as backup Outlook pst files.
I installed Office 2007 in what I thought was a completely separate
environment so I could look at it. I don't want to use the beta to do work.

There is probably still a question in here. If so, I'm having trouble
understanding it, especially when I try to reconcile to your first post,
from which I shall quote: "I don't really care whether I can import the
rules into Outlook 2007 at this point."

Yes. In both instances Outlook.pst.
I have rwz files, just don't know how to import (Outlook 2003, not
Outlook 2007)

You didn't say. Are we to assume you are using a PST file?
In recent all Outlook versions, rules are stored with the PST file. I've
noticed in beta 2, however, that for the first time they do not migrate
with the PST. You must export/import to an RWZ file.

Outlook 2003
I just downloaded the Beta 2 of Office 2007 Pro. I installed it on a
different partition running a different OS for a different user. My
rules in Outlook 2003 in my regular user disappeared!
Regular user:
Outlook 2003
Windows XP Pro 64 bit OS
Partition1, program installed in Program Files (x86)
Datafile in userprofile on Partition1
Experimental user
Outlook 2007
Windows XP Home Edition
Partition 2, program installed in Program Files (different logical hard
drive)
Datafile in userprofile on Partition 2
Huh?
I suppose it could just be coincidence, but the only thing I did was
first make sure that the Outlook 2003 which had been installed for
Experimental user had a different data file and then install the beta
while running as that user under the different OS.
Where are rules stored? I know I have a backup of most of them but I
don't know how to reinstall from the backup and don't look forward to
reinventing them.
The Office 2007 installation is just to look at, I hadn't planned on
actually letting it have access to any of my email accounts. I don't
really care whether I can import the rules into Outlook 2007 at this
point.
Any ideas?
