WAB DLL error when I load Vista with Outlook 2000?

[Guest]

I can't seem to run Outlook 2000 with Vista Bus? When I load Office 2000 the
Outlook Contact Mgr always tells me it can't find the WAB DLL?

Outlook 2000 isn't compatible with Windows Vista. Only Outlook 2003 and 2007
are supported to run of Vista.

Changing your Outlook 2000 installation to Corporate Workgroup mode will get
rid of the error but you might come across other.

Expected. You are using a version and mail support mode of Outlook that is
so far out of development that it could never work with Vista. The version
you are using is actually closer to Outlook Express than it ever was to
Outlook, and Outlook Express is long gone in Vista.

Known issue with Outlook 2000 on Vista. All versions of Outlook prior to
2003 have compatibility issues with Vista:

I concur, do not try installing Outlook 2000 on Vista. Do not try to fix the
"WAB DLL missing" error. Some things might work, but it will break you and
your Vista system trying to get it to work. I suffered a day of misery trying
before finding the prevailing wisdom on these forums, and moved from Outlook
2000 to Windows Mail on under Vista. See other threads on moving Outlook mail
folders and contacts on old PC to Windows Mail in Vista. I followed the
Outlook Express 6 import method and finally all my old mail into MW. Arg!

Now what?

Okay, I get that Outlook 2000 isn't compatible with Vista...

But before finding that out, it did allow me to download all my mail. And stupidly I let it delete it all off the server.

It gives me the wab error when I try to export as well. Is there any way of bypassing the error long enough to export my downloaded mail, or am I stuck simply viewing my old mail here and copying it off to text documents to respond to elsewhere?

Thanks...

This is so frustrating... upgrading to Vista is costing me more and more
money... now i have to go out and buy a new Outlook version? i guess that was
the idea... ask bill gates!

Installing Outlook 2000 in Corporate/Workgroup mode should allow it to
operate on Vista.
