RE: Outlook client setup

What I finally found by reading through all the garbage in the in the notepad
files that logged the setup, was that it couldn't find the install file. I
then attempted to find it the same way that the computer did. I also could
not. So, I shared the "client apps" folder, which either wasn't previously
shared, or had it sharing taken away. As soon as I turned on sharing on that
folder, and ran the wizard to join the domain again. It worked just fine.
I have no idea if that folder is/was supposed to be shared or not, but that
worked for me.

Thanks for your assistance.
