Hi

we have a machine running XP Pro that needs an installation of Outlook 98 ,
I have installed Outlook 98 Ok and it works fine.

My problem arises using IE6 SP2 in trying to install the Net Folders Add in.

Normally I would Select Add Rem Progs, Outlook , Change/Remove, Add New
Components,Install From CD and this would give me a list of installed and not
installed extras.

At this point the list does not appear and my browser says Wait in the
bottom right corner as if it was populating the list, the list does not
populate and I get a browser error notification in the yellow triangle, the
error says

Line 40
Char 2
Error - Object does not support this property or method
'Install engine1.Enginestatus
Code 0
URL file://L:\OL98\ADDCOMP\top.htm

My browser is Ver 6.00.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158

Can anyone tell me how to prevent this error ?


Any help greatly appreciated

Do you have any other Office products already?

Hmm... does your site use Sharepoint Team Services?

(MSN search for
"web publishing and collaboration" sharepoint
)

A client program, such as Microsoft Office XP (required if the user
contributes documents to a Web site, but not necessary for browsing)

Perhaps you should ask for more ideas either in newsgroups which
specialize in Office products or in Sharepoint Team Services?


Good luck

no we don't use that, this is a problem installing Outlook 98 on Windows Xp
for the Net Folder component, everything else is fine.

I do not have other copies of Office on the machine and I do not have a 2000
or above licence spare to put on here to fix it, any ideas ??
