David, I did this at home but it looks like it will work. I don't see why it wouldn't. But I was able to download IEAK SP1 and specify OE just like you said. The MSI package has been created and all looks good.
I am going to test this on a workstation where it needs to be installed tomorrow when I get to work. Thank you.

Then just choose the OE componenets. It will generate everything you need. Then just assign the MSI. Dave -------------------------------------------------------------- David J.

But I am not sure where to begin on installing a built-in program such as Outlook Express. Initially I disabled the use of Outlook Express by not installing it on the client machines. Now I want to install it. Why? Because everyone in the network is on Exchange and something they help clients troubleshoot their email. Sometimes in order to troubleshoot they setup the clients email account on their local machine. What then happens is that all of the clients email ends up on the Exchange server vs a local PST file. I know that this can be changed within the options of MS Outlook to change the storage location of email messages, but this is not something that the support staff will do or change every time they need to test a remote server email account. So how can I install Outlook Express on every client machine without visiting each one individually? If there is documentation on the steps necessary to do this, I would greatly appreciate that information. Is there another, maybe better alternative?
