If You Install by Using Office 97 SR-2 Patch
If you use the SR-2 Patch, you do not have to do anything. The patch does
not affect Outlook 98.
If You Install by Using Office 97 SR-2 Compact Disc
If you use the complete Microsoft Office 97 Standard or Microsoft Office 97
Professional Edition compact disc version of SR-2, you must choose not to
install Outlook during the initial stages of the SR-2 Setup. Microsoft
Office 97 SR-2 installs updates designed for Microsoft Outlook 97. If
you've already upgraded to Microsoft Outlook 98, you should perform a
Custom installation of Microsoft Office 97 SR-2 and not choose Microsoft
Outlook. In other words, click the Custom button on the Microsoft Office
97 Setup dialog box, and then click to clear (uncheck) the check box for
Microsoft Outlook.

If you've already installed the complete Microsoft Office 97 Standard or
Microsoft Office 97 Professional Edition compact disc version of SR-2,
(including Outlook) over an existing copy of Outlook 98, you should
reinstall Outlook 98 to ensure proper operation.
