Outlook disappeared and won't re-install
 

I installed 32 bit Vista and Office Enterprise 2007. After using Outlook 2007
for several weeks without significant issues it suddenly seems to have
disappeared. No trace of it remains on the drive, in 'Programs and Features',
or in the Office12 folder. When I try to reinstall from the DVD it shows
Outlook as not available.

Is there something I can do that will allow Outlook to be re-installed?

Have you had little gremlins at your computer or are you the single user?

I am the only user. In trying to think back through what could have caused
the disappearance of Outlook I recall that I was suspicious about how Live
OneCare was possibly causing instabilities so I uninstalled it. The system
hung during the uninstall and after an hour I reset. The next day I realized
Outlook was no longer there. I don't know if one event relates to the other
or not. The system instabilities I had experienced have not returned after
removing OneCare.

Is there some kind of registry edit or something that I need to do to get
Outlook to re-install?

I am at a loss as to how you can reinstall Outlook. I presume you tried system restore?

You could try an Office repair, with the DVD, it 'might' help, otherwise I
believe you would qualify for free MS support

Thanks, DL. One of the first things I tried was Office repair using the DVD
but it didn't address the problem.

I am puzzled as to why the Office installation wizard shows Outlook with the
'Not Available' text when running the setup on the DVD. My original install
of Outlook 2007 was from this Office Enterprise 2007 DVD. All the other
products still show as available in the install wizard.

As far as I'm aware installation problems (office) will qualify for free MS

And, since this is an Enterprise DVD - available only to corporations - the OP's IT dept. should be able to help as well.
