CAUSE

The above message displays if you install Outlook 97, version 8.01, on a computer that does not contain a cc:Mail service from an earlier version of Outlook 97.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Outlook 97 version 8.01 for Windows. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Outlook 97 version 8.02 for Windows.

RESOLUTION

If you have Microsoft Office 97, or Outlook 97, version 8.0, you have a licensed Lotus cc:Mail transport service. Use the cc:Mail service from the Office 97 or Outlook 97, version 8.0, ValuPacks with Outlook 97, version 8.01.

Microsoft Outlook 97, version 8.02 includes the licensed Lotus cc:Mail transport service.
