Running Outlook 2003, XP Pro SP2, MS Office 2003 Professional, VS .NET 2002
Occasionally when I try to open an email, Outlook tries to install MS Word
as my email reader - it then tries to install VS.NET and gives the error
message "Error 1706 No valid source could be found for product Visual Studio
..NET Professional - English. The Windows installer cannot continue. It then
reverts to a dialogue box entitled "Windows Installer" with the message
reparing to install.." after which it does nothing at all. I have to crash
Outlook to continue.
The emails appear in the reading pane fine, but simply won't open. And why
on earth does outlook try to install VS.NET?
How can I turn this bizarre "feature" off and just read my emails in the
usual way?
TIA
