I've got WinXP Pro on a desktop, that recently complained the
%SystemDrive% was running out of space. As the largest hog in that lot,
I decided to uninstall MS Office Pro 2003, and reinstall it to a more
spacious partition.

As you noted, Outlook 2003 runs fine from an Admin account, but not
from a lesser (such as PowerUser) account.
What you didn't mention about the error popup is that Outlook is
looking for outlvba.dll in a subdirectory of %UserProfile% (at least in
my case). I suspect that is some kind of default path, where Outlook
looks if it can't find outlvba.dll where it should be according to the
registry.

The problem appears to be one of permissions, but to what?
Could be key(s) in the registry, could be Security Policy, could be
access rights to outlvba.dll where MS Office Pro 2003 installed it. The
path to outlvba is correct under
{HKCR}\CLSID\{799ED9EA-FB5E-11D1-B7D6-00C04FC2AAE2}.
The problem may be that {HKCR}\Microsoft.VbaAddinForLook (which refers
to the key that has the path to outlvba), has permissions only for
Administrators and SYSTEM. Need to add PowerUsers (or whatever group or
user will be used), w/ Permission Read, which consists of: Query Value,
Enumerate Subkeys, Notify, and Read Control.
