Where is Outlook 2003?

[brunces]

My sister-in-law has installed MS Office 2007 over MS Office 2003, which she already had installed in her PC. Hence, everything was updated to the new version (2007). OK.

She used to use Microsoft Outlook 2003. During the 2007 installation, she did not opt for installing Microsoft Outlook 2007, because she said she wanted to keep using version 2003 (don't ask me why). The problem is, after the installation, Outlook 2003 disappeared (that's what she said).

I have never used Microsoft Outlook, so I couldn't help her when she asked me what to do. The icon she had on Desktop, a shortcut for the program (2003), disappeared as well (I imagine she or someone else has deleted it, but I can't prove it).

Well, our doubt is... The fact that MSO 2007 has been installed over MSO 2003 and the option for installing Outlook 2007 has not been marked does not mean Outlook 2003 has been uninstalled, does it?

I've seen on Microsoft's webpage that the executable for Microsoft Outlook is the file OutLLib.dll (gee, I would never imagine it is a DLL file). Anyway, we can't find this file in her PC. Has Outlook 2003 really been uninstalled?

Thank you for your attention.

Depending on your Operating system, XP (Search for Outlook 2003 under the "Search" feature. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308895

Or if you have Vista or Windows 7 you can just open the Start Menu and begin typing Outlook 2003.

This will tell you if the program is still on the computer for sure. But it sounds like most likely that it was overwritten.

Mophead, thanks for your answer, but "overwritten" how? During the 2007 installation, Microsoft Outlook was not marked to be installed. Consequently, Outlook 2003 should not be overwritten. Did you mean it was "uninstalled"? I mean, the new whole installation, the pack, overwrote the whole old installation, therefore Outlook 2003 was uninstalled? Is that so?

By the way, she runs Windows XP on her machine.
