Best guess is to do the following.

1) Uninstall Office 2003 from the Windows XP workstation (this includes
things that share office components like FrontPage 2003, Visio 2003,
Word/Visio 2003 readers, .etc)

2) Make sure the MSOCache folder (it is a hidden folder at the root of C:
?) is gone

3) Reboot

4) Install Office 2003 and then patch it back to where it was

5) Make sure that you disable the group policy that installs Outlook 2003.
(Yes, what comes with SBS is seen as a different product. If that comes
down, it will try to do a mix n' match on that XP workstation and make
patching and interesting thing to figure out when doesn't work.)

Outside of that, you might have to create a new mail profile and delete the
old, but things should be fine at this point.



"Outlook 2003 and SBS Client Installation" Outlook 2003 and SBS Client
wrote in message
...
Windows XP Pro workstation totally patched for windows and office. Added
workststation to new sbs 2003 SP1 domain. For whatever reason the server
tried to install Outlook 2003 even though it was there already. Hung up
during installation.
Outlook will now not run. Have uninstalled Office 2003 completely tried
again no luck. Uninstalled outook and tried to install from server No
luck.
Removed and added workstation to domain a 2nd time no luck. Deleted user
profile and created new user profile and reinstalled Outlook. I can get
outlook instgalled but it will only open once and then if you close it and
try to open a 2nd time it does not open. You have to go and stop the
service
and hope it will work again. Or you reboot and it then I can get in. Any
thoughts
