re: <<If the files are not there, it will install them. For Outlook, there's no need or great advantage to having the necessary technologies included in the OS. In fact, I would guess that it causes them more problems than advantages.>> =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= I have experienced this creating a mess a number of times. The installer checks for the most currently dated dll, installs the newer one, but then the newer one doesn't work with apps that want the older one. the more companies mucking with these things the more headaches for all. Ok, so rather than overwrite existing dll's, use a new name, right? so now you get different implementations of the same thing on your machine..., but what if you want them to work together? and of course app developers are only responsible for their app working. I'm not saying it can't work, but that the net for consumers is harm, not benefit. -k
