OLMAP32.DLL Error after upgrade from Office 2003 to Office 2007 onXP/SP3 machine

Two days ago I upgraded from Office 2003 to Office 2007 Enterprise on
a laptop running XP/SP3. Everything I've tried in the office suite
seems to work well except Outlook. Even after applying Office SP1,
whenever I try to start Outlook I get a tiny error box that simply
says error, OLMAPI32.DLL. I have spent more time than I would like to
admit Googling the problem but have found no solution that works for
me although I've tried various solutions that appear in multiple
discussions of the problem—up to and including experimenting with
removing all registry references to OLMAPI32.DLL. Nothing has helped!

I definitely need Outlook on my laptop. Does anyone have a solution
to this problem which, as far as I can see, Microsoft has not
documented (perhaps I'd missed something?).

Thanks in advance for any help!
 
We have no idea what "solutions" you've tried so we cannot answer until you
tell us.
In general, you should never attempt to do an in-place upgrade of Outlook.
If you must, then you must first create a brand new Outlook profile from
scratch. Any pre-existing profile won't work.
Create a new profile and run the Office Maintenance Wizard.

Fair enough--how then do I create a new Outlook profile without
changing my user profile?
 
Here's how:

Thank you for this link which jogged my memory. I remember now having
set up mail profiles in just this way. There is only one problem—when
I go to control panel on the machine in question there is no “Mail”
applet. How could that be?

I wound up uninstalling Office, manually deleting the Office folder,
and reinstalling. Now all is well--except that I keep getting an
"Outlook failed to start" error dialogue before Outlook starts. The
message asks if I would like to start Outlook in safe mode which I
have done but nothing is jumping out at me as to what to do about this
problem. Otherwise Outlook seems to be working perfectly!

Not the recommended procedure because that does nothing to correct the
Outlook profile that was corrupted by the "upgrade" installation. That
profile and its settings still remain. You should still run Office
diagnostics and create a new profile.

Outlook.
If you must, then you must first create a brand new Outlook
profile
from
scratch. Any pre-existing profile won't work.
Create a new profile and run the Office Maintenance Wizard.

Two days ago I upgraded from Office 2003 to Office 2007
Enterprise
on
a laptop running XP/SP3. Everything I've tried in the office
suite
seems to work well except Outlook. Even after applying Office
SP1,
whenever I try to start Outlook I get a tiny error box that
simply
says error, OLMAPI32.DLL. I have spent more time than I would
like
to
admit Googling the problem but have found no solution that works
for
me although I've tried various solutions that appear in multiple
discussions of the problem—up to and including experimentingwith
removing all registry references to OLMAPI32.DLL. Nothing has
helped!
I definitely need Outlook on my laptop. Does anyone have a
solution
to this problem which, as far as I can see, Microsoft has not
documented (perhaps I'd missed something?).
Thanks in advance for any help!
Fair enough--how then do I create a new Outlook profile without
changing my user profile?
Thank you for this link which jogged my memory. I remember now
having
set up mail profiles in just this way. There is only one
problem—when
I go to control panel on the machine in question there is no “Mail”
applet. How could that be?
PS—I am in “classic view.”

On the installation CD or am I missing something????

I wound up uninstalling Office, manually deleting the Office folder,
and reinstalling. Now all is well--except that I keep getting an
"Outlook failed to start" error dialogue before Outlook starts. The
message asks if I would like to start Outlook in safe mode which I
have done but nothing is jumping out at me as to what to do about this
problem. Otherwise Outlook seems to be working perfectly!
Click to expand...

I tried starting again in safe mode and ran diagnostics but the pesky
error box keeps coming up anyway!
 
Not the recommended procedure because that does nothing to correct the
Outlook profile that was corrupted by the "upgrade" installation. That
profile and its settings still remain. You should still run Office
diagnostics and create a new profile.

Got it! Deleted the "Resiliency" key from the left-over Office 11
