SYMPTOMSWhen users try to upgrade from 40-bit to 128-bit security in Microsoft Outlook 98 they find that there is no option to do this in the Active Setup user interface. CAUSEThere is a registry key that contains information about the previous setup. Outlook Active Setup does not allow the removal of components and so the registry entry is not changed. Setup assumes a reinstallation of the previous setup and does not allow the upgrade. RESOLUTION
If you have the Outlook compact disc (CD), you can run Outdom.exe to update
both Outlook and Microsoft Internet Explorer to 128-bit encryption.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Outlook 98. MORE INFORMATIONUse either of the following methods to upgrade to 128-bit encryption. Method 1
Method 2WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys And Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it. If you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD). To upgrade to 128-bit encryption you need to first remove the registry key. This will force a First Run Setup instead of Maintenance Mode Setup at which time you can choose 128-bit encryption.
