Attention Patrick Schmid---------Unable to launch Outlook in Offic

[Guest]

This question is directed to Patrick Schmid. I am once again having problems
launching Outlook 07. I have been running the Office 07 Beta for many months
and you assisted me in correcting the problem I was having, it was back in
early October.

Today I was interested in installing the Calendar Creator for Office 07 and
downloaded it from the MS website. Before I was able to install it, the
installation required me to download and install the Net.framework v3. I did
that and now I am completely unable to launch Outlook. Here is what I have
done:

I disabled the plugin from Norton antivirus, which is what you suggested I
do back in early October, which did enable me to use Outlook for the past
month and a half. I then ran the repair program for Office 07, and rebooted
and attempted to launch Outlook and I get an installation error OLMAPI.DLL
error as I did in the past and still cannot launch Outlook. I am so
frustrated with this whole process and wish I had never installed the B2TR.
I would appreciate any help and assistance from you.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think the Calendar Printing Assistant is compatible with that BETA
release of Outlook. See if Outlook loads succesfully again when you remove
it or start Outlook in Safe Mode;
Start-> Run; outlook.exe /safe

 

[Guest]

I attempted to open Outlook in safe mode as you suggested and it will not
load. It says it cannot find the file.

Sounds like that's the case. I'd say the add-in you downloaded was
released in November? With that date it is targeted at the final
release, not at any beta.
Worst case, removing the add-in and then repairing Office 2007 via
Control Panel, Change Office 2007 should work.

I removed the plug in, ran repair on Office 97 and still have the same
problem. All of Office apps will launch except for Outlook which is the one
I am desperate to use. As was before when you helped me, I do have a non
functioning version of Office 03 installed which is what I have been using
until I installed the Beta. Wish I had not done that!!!!

Any other suggestions??

Patrick I am at a point that I need to have a working Outlook on my PC. Can
you take me step by step through the process of uninstalling Office 07 Beta,
and going back to Office 03, I have the disks. Will my personal folders that
I have had with Office 07 Beta still be there? How would I make a back up of
the personal folders. I have a lot of contacts, calendar and critical emails
that I cannot afford to lose.

I noticed when I went into control panel/add remove programs that Office 03
is still present in the list. What does that mean? Do I have to uninstall
the beta then unstall Office 03, then reinstall Office 03? Or can I just
uninstall 07, uninstall 03 then reinstall 07??

I am very desperate at this point!!!!!

Thanks Patrick, now how can I be sure that my personal folders will be
preserved? I just uninstalled Office 07 but am afraid I am going to lose all
of those folders when I uninstall Office 03.

Thanks Patrick, now how can I be sure that my personal folders will be
preserved? I just uninstalled Office 07 but am afraid I am going to lose all
of those folders when I uninstall Office 03.

Try uninstalling 2007, then 2003, and then reinstalling 2003.
If 2007 won't go away, use http://pschmid.net/blog/2006/11/13/79

Patrick I am at a point that I need to have a working Outlook on my PC. Can
you take me step by step through the process of uninstalling Office 07 Beta,
and going back to Office 03, I have the disks. Will my personal folders that
I have had with Office 07 Beta still be there? How would I make a back up of
the personal folders. I have a lot of contacts, calendar and critical emails
that I cannot afford to lose.

I noticed when I went into control panel/add remove programs that Office 03
is still present in the list. What does that mean? Do I have to uninstall
the beta then unstall Office 03, then reinstall Office 03? Or can I just
uninstall 07, uninstall 03 then reinstall 07??

I am very desperate at this point!!!!!

I am sorry I meant ran repair on Office07 beta in the first line of my post.

:

I removed the plug in, ran repair on Office 97 and still have the same
problem. All of Office apps will launch except for Outlook which is the one
I am desperate to use. As was before when you helped me, I do have a non
functioning version of Office 03 installed which is what I have been using
until I installed the Beta. Wish I had not done that!!!!

Any other suggestions??

Sounds like that's the case. I'd say the add-in you downloaded was
released in November? With that date it is targeted at the final
release, not at any beta.
Worst case, removing the add-in and then repairing Office 2007 via
Control Panel, Change Office 2007 should work.

I don't think the Calendar Printing Assistant is compatible with that BETA
release of Outlook. See if Outlook loads succesfully again when you remove
it or start Outlook in Safe Mode;
Start-> Run; outlook.exe /safe

This question is directed to Patrick Schmid. I am once again having
problems
launching Outlook 07. I have been running the Office 07 Beta for many
months
and you assisted me in correcting the problem I was having, it was back in
early October.

Today I was interested in installing the Calendar Creator for Office 07
and
downloaded it from the MS website. Before I was able to install it, the
installation required me to download and install the Net.framework v3. I
did
that and now I am completely unable to launch Outlook. Here is what I
have
done:

I disabled the plugin from Norton antivirus, which is what you suggested I
do back in early October, which did enable me to use Outlook for the past
month and a half. I then ran the repair program for Office 07, and
rebooted
and attempted to launch Outlook and I get an installation error OLMAPI.DLL
error as I did in the past and still cannot launch Outlook. I am so
frustrated with this whole process and wish I had never installed the
B2TR.
I would appreciate any help and assistance from you.

Thanks in advance.

Patrick in my attempts to get a working copy of Outlook, here is what I did
today on my own:

-I found in Microsoft KB what to do if the error regarding a patch package
did not exist. It recommended that I run a program called Windows Install
Clean up. I did this and Office 03 was removed.
-I rebooted then attempted to reinstall Office 03 from disk that I have.
-The install went without error, but........ now when I attempt to launch
Outlook here is the error message I get:
"MAPI32.DLL is corrupt or is the wrong version. This may have been caused
by installing other messaging software software. Please reinstall Outlook."

I did attempt to reinstall and still get the same error when I launch
Outlook. Is this because I had the 07 beta installed prior which is now not
installed???? If so now what?????????
