If you really mean Outlook, it is part of Office; if you run the Office
configuration/installation prog., it will let you change which bits of
Office you have installed. At least, that's the case for Office 97 and
Office 2003, I don't know for later ones.
If you mean Outlook Express, you don't need a script:
Start, Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows
Components (third down on the left), about three screenfuls down is
Outlook Express. Untick (uncheck in USA) it ...
I will admit I haven't tried it; though I don't use OE, I support one or
two people who do, and I keep it installed to look at how to do things
for them. And I'm running XP Home SP3 - I don't know if it's the same in
other versions.

FYI: Outlook Express can not truly be removed from XP. Outlook
Express has links to Internet Explorer which can never be completely
removed from XP. You can onlt normally remove the icons / links to
the OE.
That doesn't surprise me!
Unless XPlite can do it: I know it could be done (easily via 98lite
which is from the same people, but I think anyway though with more
difficulty) under '98 - at least, IE could be completely removed, so I
expect OE ditto. But I don't know for XP.

Did you somehow prevent it installing when you installed Windows then?
(ditto)
including msimn.exe,
other than its basic installation... i've never once clicked on any
iteration of outlook to configure it...
three instances remain on my drive;
C:\Program Files\Outlook Express
C:\Windows\I386
C:\Windows\Service Pack\I386

Did you somehow prevent it installing when you installed Windows then?
including msimn.exe, which is what the OE executable is called? (By
default, it's "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe", and starts
in %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%.)
