Completely Uninstalling Outlook 2003

[Nathan Sokalski]

I have Microsoft Office 2003 installed on my computer, and would like to
uninstall Outlook (so that I can reinstall it). I start by taking the
obvious step of going to Add/Remove Programs and clicking the Change button
next to Office, and then unchecking Outlook from the list of components in
the window that it brings up. I know that there are certain files left
behind even after this, but I am not sure where they all are. I have
followed the instructions at the following page:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826491/en-us

When I reinstall Outlook (which, as I mentioned above, is why I am
uninstalling it), I recieve the following error when I open it:

Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Unable to open the Outlook window.
The set of folders could not be opened.

This error message is (supposedly) provided a resolution in the following:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831019/en-us

But even after following the steps given in the resolution on this page, it
did not make a difference. My basic goal is to make Outlook work as if it
has never been used on my machine before. If it becomes absolutely
necessary, I can completely uninstall (and reinstall) Office, but I have a
feeling that this is not necessary. Can someone tell me what I need to do to
achieve this? Thanks.

Hi Nathan,

If Outlook is installed, you must delete at first the Outlook profiles:

- Control Panel > Mail > Show profiles > Delete all profiles.
- Restart the computer.
- Open Outlook

Now you will (normally) be ask to configure you Outlook.

Maybe it helps.

Hi,

No need to uninstall and then reinstall the office 2003 application.

The next quick thing is to just repaire the office 2003.
To do this:execute office application .exe file and chose the repaire option (this may ask for office 2003 cd or installation files path)
