Article ID: Q161213

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Outlook 97

SYMPTOMS

After you install Microsoft Outlook 97 and then remove Microsoft Exchange Client through the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs option, some shared DLLs are deleted that are needed by Outlook 97.

CAUSE

Microsoft Exchange Setup does not mark some DLLs as shared; therefore, they are not protected during the Remove process.

WORKAROUND

Remove Microsoft Exchange before you install Outlook, or reinstall Outlook after you remove Microsoft Exchange.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base, as it becomes available.
