I've installed Office XP on a WinXP SP2 system that has Outlook Express 6
installed. When I attempt to launch Outlook, I receive an error message
stating:

"Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Outlook requires Microsoft Outlook Express
4.01 or greater. You can install Outlook Express by running IE5Setup.exe from
the IE5 folder located on your CD or through the Windows Update website."

What gives? How do I get around this error?
Thanks - M

Hi,
please read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287683/EN-US/
 
Already tried that. Reinstalling Outlook Express via IE5Setup.exe will not
work, as IE6 and Outlook Express 6 are already installed.

What now?
