Outlook 2000 SR-1 will not configure

[Buzz Fenner]

After initially installing Office (Excel, Word, Outlook), my boss wanted me
to scrap it and install separate versions of the apps. That way, we save
money on licensing. Excel & Word installs with no problems using msi files
that come with the media. But, Outlook 2000 SR-1 doesn't want to install
unless its part of an Office install. The MsiInstaller program throws Event
ID 1000 at me, and says to use the resource kit instructions to install it.
It's been a while, but I seem to remember reading in the ORK manual that
Outlook must be installed when doing an initial Office install and cannot be
later added. Anyone done an install of the separate apps?

When you tried to install Outlook, did you try using the
transform file (termsrvr.mst) to make the install terminal
server friendly?

Matthew,

First, sorry if you got several posts from me; I must have been asleep at
the switch when I kept pressing "reply" instead of "reply to group"

The answer to the question is, yes, I used the transform file but probably
used the data1.msi from the Outlook 2000 SR-1 cd (if that makes any
difference).

Hmm...maybe this link will help (although you'll have to
excuse me if you already saw this):

I checked out the link, but it talks in terms of an Office installation -
not Outlook. I'm checking other web sites but haven't found anything that
resembles the installation senario I'm up against. Thanks for the help.
