Installing SPK3 for Office XP

[Guest]

When installing SPK3 for Microsoft Office XP, the installer asked for the
Office XP installation CD in an attempt to find the file "OUTRET.MSI".
This file was not on any of the original Office XP cd's, but was located in
the HP-IPAQ software CD as part of MS ActiveSync 3.7.1, which integrates with
Outlook.
So, while the installer for SPK3 asks for the original Office XP CD, the
file OUTRET.MSI is on the ActiveSync installation CD.

Thank you for posting this. I was pulling out the last of my hair trying
to figure out why I couldn't do it. I had just loaded the ActiveSync 3.7.1
yesterday. Whew! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
