Outlook express is not installed and doesn't show up in Add / Remove
components.

My question is how to install it in this situation?
 
Please stick with your original thread. Asking the same question a

Sorry but the other question seems to be misleading because people are
giving the same answer again and again.
 
Have you ever considered asking in an Outlook Express newsgroup?

Outlook Express General newsgroup:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general

*After* you open Add/Remove Programs, go to Add? Remove Windows Components
at the left side of the screen. Is Outlook Express checked there? If you say
it isn't listed, you're not looking in the right place. See this screen
shot:

After you check it:

Right click on the Desktop | New | Shortcut. Browse to *C:\Program
Files\Outlook Express\MSIMN.EXE* Click Next | Click Finish. A new shortcut
will be on the desktop.

There are two Outlook Express newsgroups on the msnews.microsoft.com server.
I see them every day and there is nothing from you posted there.

Did you follow the rest of my advice?

Thanks bruce. I see exactly the same screen but the entry outlook express is
missing. After doing some research it seems like my PC came with IE7
pre-installed. And IE7 does not include OE. So I tried to download couple of
OE installation packages, but all of them when run say that your computer is
already running a newer version of Internet Explorer, so setup can not
continue. So now the question is how to install OE if your computer came
with IE7 or IE8 preinstalled?

This /is/ an XP machine, correct? Even if IE7 came preinstalled, no XP disk
has ever been released that did not include IE6 in it, which has the OE
components. I have never heard of it at least.

What happens when you do this?

c:\program files\outlook express\msimn.exe

Start | Run and Paste it in | OK.

Anything?

You just got this machine, right? Would it be a hassle to reload XP?

Reloading xp would be a big hassle since I spent several days in picking and
choosing the data from my old mchine and then making all the settings
changes as needed.
Under program files there wasn't any outlook express folder so I moved the
contents of my old outlook express folder there but obviously it doesn't
work because it can not load the necessary libraries. Is there any way to
get around it. Plus reloading XP with restore disk won't get me outlook
express. And I don't know if i should use my old Dell XP CD with this newer
machine (which is fortunately Dell too)? Also should I cange the name of the
thread to more accurately describe the problem?

No need to change the title of the thread. This has been crossposted to OE
General so other OE people will see it.

I don't know how you could have done it, but did you somehow create this
machine without using a genuine XP disk? If you figured out a way to install
XP but leave out IE6, then that is the problem, but I don't know the answer.

I'll see if I can find someone with that type of knowledge to take a look at
this thread.

Try going to Start | Run and type

SFC /scannow

and see if that fixes things. Also check in the c:\program files\Outlook
Express\ directory for msimn.exe and if its present then run it.

What happens when you do this?

c:\program files\outlook express\msimn.exe

Start | Run and Paste it in | OK.

Anything?

You just got this machine, right? Would it be a hassle to reload XP?

Thanks bruce. I see exactly the same screen but the entry outlook
express is missing. After doing some research it seems like my PC came
with IE7 pre-installed. And IE7 does not include OE. So I tried to
download couple of OE installation packages, but all of them when run
say that your computer is already running a newer version of Internet
Explorer, so setup can not continue. So now the question is how to
install OE if your computer came with IE7 or IE8 preinstalled?

Did you do this?

*After* you open Add/Remove Programs, go to Add? Remove Windows
Components
at the left side of the screen. Is Outlook Express checked there? If
you say
it isn't listed, you're not looking in the right place. See this screen

Right click on the Desktop | New | Shortcut. Browse to *C:\Program

Thanks for the info, I will try to post there again but I was afraid
people there would think that i am posting too much. But if you could
please help me with this problem I would appreciate it
There are two Outlook Express newsgroups on the msnews.microsoft.com

there.

Did you follow the rest of my advice?

Yes, I tried but they say that this is an XP instalation problem.

Sorry but the other question seems to be misleading because people
are giving the same answer again and again.
Please stick with your original thread. Asking the same question
a second time will only get you ignored.

I checked with the person whom I bought the Dell, he says that when he
installed office 2007 it automatically removes outlook express. I don't know
if he is telling the truth but now it is confirmed that outlook express was
removed and since IE7 won't let me install outlook express how do I install
it?

Reloading xp would be a big hassle since I spent several days in picking
and
choosing the data from my old mchine and then making all the settings
changes as needed.
Under program files there wasn't any outlook express folder so I moved
the
contents of my old outlook express folder there but obviously it doesn't
work because it can not load the necessary libraries. Is there any way to
get around it. Plus reloading XP with restore disk won't get me outlook
express. And I don't know if i should use my old Dell XP CD with this
newer
machine (which is fortunately Dell too)? Also should I cange the name of
the
thread to more accurately describe the problem?
