After reinstalling MS Outlook 2000 on a new Windows XP HE computer
Outlook fails to initialise with a complaint about the missing
omint.dll.

I found complaints about this problem since Nov. 2001 in the news
groups but no solution.

Is the only solution to upgrade to Outlook XP (I didn't consider these
expenses) or to avoid Windows XP?

Any ideas?

Regards Edgar

You indicated in the GUID that the product is an OEM (came preinstalled on a
prior computer) right? You cannot transfer the software to a new
computer... it is married to the computer on which it came preinstalled and
lives and dies with that computer.

You can only use the software as upgrade eligibility qualifer.

| KB item 308602 doesn' seem to be a solution.
|
| Neither can be found the registry key
| ...Software\Microsoft\Installer\Products\{GUID}
| nor the file ProOem1C.msi anywhere on the system.
| I guess the MS Installer Cleanup Utility wouldn't help either.
|
| Meanwhile I heard from colleagues, that I am not the only one with
| this problem ...
|
| I'm still looking for help.
