Outlook 2002 startup problems ".....requires Outlook Express"

Guest

I am currently running WinXP Pro SP2 with Office XP SP2, IE 6 SP1 and Outlook
Express 6. Everytime I start Outlook, it says "Cannot start Microsoft
Outlook. Outlook requires Microsoft Outlook Express 4.01 or greater. You can
install Outlook Express by running IE5Setup .exe from the IE5 folder located
on your CD or through the Windows Update website." I tried un-installing and
re-installing Office XP, but no luck. Any suggestions would greatly be
appreciated.

Thank you for your feedback. I tried that solution already, but the install
already senses IE6 on the computer. Any other suggestions?

Is Outlook Express operable on this computer? It must be installed
properly in order for Outlook to work correctly.
