512263.mainsp2op.msp - explanation and help Bob 4/5/2007 12:02:00 AM Using CM for Outlook in Office 2003 Pro is and has been less than satisfactory since day 1. Now it is even more frustrating when an error message (noted in the titel of this tome) appears looking for a file or disk containing the noted file. It does not exist by name and number on the install disk for either Outlook or CM or the Update that we installed! There is no reference to this file or error message on any MSFT web page !! Now I can not get the add remove function to recognize that the CM is installed in order to uninstall it even though its shows as installed on the Add/remove list. Since installing the update I cannot get access to any data files in CM even when I manually direct by adding the file to the data sources. But when that is attempted I do get a "Critical Error" and Outlook shuts down - very convenient!! At least there should be an explanation on SOME MSFT WEB SITE- don't you think? ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Re: 512263.mainsp2op.msp - explanation and help Bob 4/7/2007 6:30:04 PM Yes I meant BCM. I found no help at all but did find the Windows Install Clean Up utility - ran it and reinstalled for the 4th time. So far this appears to have fixed the issue but I would still like to hear from MSFT as to what simpler fix there could be than going the reinstall route as now my student version has run out installs and of course that adds one more level of frustration.
