[RESOLVED] Outlook asking for IE5setup.exe?

[MPTech]

I re-installed XP Home a couple weeks ago and re-installed Office XP (v2002). When I tried to launch Outlook, I get the following message:
Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Outlook requires Microsoft Outlook Express 4.01 or greater. you can install Outlook express by running IE%Setup.exe from the IE5 folder located on our CD or through the Windows Update website.

I tried re-installing Outlook, no luck. I'm currently running IE7.0.5730.13.
I even tried looking for the IE5 folder, but couldn't find it on my XP CD (or even an old 98 CD).

help please.

Did you try the Windows Update website?:

SpywareDr, tried that, but no luck.

Did some googling and tried several other solutions, but this one seemed to work.

Open the registry Key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed
Components\{44BBA840-CC51-11CF-AAFA-00AA00B6015C}

(on my XP there was 3, choose the one with value "Version" related to
Outlook Express)

Modify/Create the Value as detailed below.
Data Type: DWORD
Value Name: IsInstalled
Value Data: 1
