Help! Outlook won't open nor let me reinstall
This a.m. I opened Word and chose Help-Detect & Repair and checked both
"Restore my shortcuts while repairing" and "Discard my customized settings and restore default settings." I have an awful feeling that that wiped out my Outlook 2003 which now won't open. Whe I try to open it I get ""The operation failed due to an installation problem. Restart Outlook and try again. If the problem persists, please reinstall." When I try either to do a Detect & Repair in Word or Excel or I try to fire up the Office 2003 CD to reinstall I get a 1612 error message "The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it." So I can't uninstall. Can't reinstall. Can't open Outlook (though Word & Excel are fine). Help! I live by my Outlook calendar etc. -- DJF

Help! Outlook won't open nor let me reinstall
I had the same problem. Neither detect and repair, nor reinstall, worked even
with the original CD. Ultimately I choose 'system restore' to an earlier date and it started working. I wonder why? I find many people having the same problem. Is microsoft tracking this particular complain ot not? I needed to reinstall many updates as result. All the problems started with an update for outlook-some thingto do with junk mail filtering. I have hidden that update, as it is not at all getting installed. High time microsoft understsnds our requirments and looks into this problem. -- Mani "DJF" wrote: This a.m. I opened Word and chose Help-Detect & Repair and checked both "Restore my shortcuts while repairing" and "Discard my customized settings and restore default settings."
