Re: Uninstall and reinstall OE on Win2k?

I'm getting "msoe.dll could not be loaded" when trying to start Outlook
Express. I've already looked up the error in the Knowledge Base and have not
been able to resolve the issue using the articles.

Believe it or not, I used to work as a Microsoft Support Technician
supporting Outlook Express, along with the OS and Microsoft Outlook.  So
you'd think I'd know how to do this.  I know how to manually uninstall
Outlook Express, but I'm used to seeing "Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and
Internet Tools" in Add/Remove Programs so you can just reinstall Outlook
Express using that.

Anyways, your article doesn't really apply to me. I have Win2000 Sp4, not
WinXp. All that it says is to either do a SFC/Scannow or a repair of
windows. I could try a repair of Windows, but then I have to re-apply all
service packs and everything, and sometime that messes up other programs that
you have installed, so I'd rather not go that route.

There has to be a way of reinstalling Outlook Express still. Microsoft
couldn't have left a person stranded who needs to reinstall OE, could they?


You need to read this part of the article.  This will work in Win2000:

Windows XP and Windows XP SP1: Edit the registry and install Internet Explorer 6
Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
When you try to reinstall the same version of Internet Explorer, you may receive the following error message:
Setup has detected a newer version of Internet Explorer already installed on this system.
Setup cannot continue.
To avoid this error message and reinstall the same version of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, follow these steps: 1. While you are logged on as an administrator, click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
3. Locate the appropriate registry subkey, right-click the IsInstalled (REG_DWORD) value, and then click Modify.

To reinstall only the Internet Explorer 6 browser component on Windows XP, use the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}
To reinstall only Outlook Express 6 on Windows XP, use the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{44BBA840-CC51-11CF-AAFA-00AA00B6015C}
4. Change the value data from 1 to 0, and then click OK.
5. Quit Registry Editor, and then install Internet Explorer 6.
