I would like to progmatically create an email account profile for
Outlook 2007 from another application I am writing. I have reviewed
the registry keys

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messageing
Subsystem\Profiles\Outlook2007

and see that I will need to do something vastly different than pre OL
2002 versions.

Thanks
 
Create a prf-file with the Office Resource Kit (ORK) or Office Customization
Tool (OCT) and then launch Outlook with that prf-file in order to configure
it automatically.

Your script would be then calling a command similar to this;
<installation path>\outlook.exe /importprf <storage
location>\yourprofile.prf

Click to expand...

Office 2007 no longer has a Resource Kit and the OCT is only volume
licensed versions and I have a retail verison. Any other thoughts? Or
do you know the structure of the prf file?
 
If you're not already familair with this, you may want to look at Profman
that comes with the commercial version of Redemption
