Re-Install Outlook Express without a CD

[Tom]

Since XP Service Pack 2 disabled my Outlook Express, and Outlook
Express is built into XP is it possible to disinstall OE and reinstall
without the XP setup CD? My guess is no, but let me hear it from
others.

If you had your anti-virus program running when you downloaded SP2, you
might want to remove it as per the link below. If all is well, download
it again with the A/V disabled. (You should do this when you download
anything).

Follow the instructions here to remove SP2:

To reinstall IE6 and OE:

Method 2 says it's for XP, but it works for all Window operating systems
except W95.
