I have a standalone version of Office 2003 Small Business Edition.
When I try to open Outlook, I get the following error:

The exception unknown software exception (Ox40000015) occurred in the
application at location 0x7813461a.

Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program


When I tried to reinstall the software using my Office 2003
application disks, the installer failed to initialize with a similar
issue. What do I do?

Can you open Word?
Had you already configured a mail profile in Outlook, and did it ever work?
