OL98: Incorrect Readme File Installed by Outlook Setup

• Microsoft Outlook 98

SYMPTOMS

When you run Setup for Microsoft Outlook 98 from the Outlook download page on the Microsoft Web site or from the CD-ROM, a Readme file titled, Olreadme.txt is installed in the Office folder. This file is not correct for Outlook.

CAUSE

A version of the Olreadme.txt from the previous release of Outlook was inadvertently left in one of the folders containing Outlook Setup resources.

RESOLUTION

The correct version of the readme file is located on the root of the Outlook CD-ROM. In order to assure that you have the latest information about Outlook, you should open and read or print this file.

If you installed from the Microsoft Web site, the correct file is not available on your local installation. To obtain a copy of the correct readme file, see the Reference section below.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Outlook 98. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
