Resolution

A suggested workaround is as follows:

1. Logon to a Windows XP machine where the install of the EV Add-in works with Office 2003 SP 3

3. Browse to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11 and copy the file OUTLLIB.DLL

4. Paste the file on the Windows 7 computer in the same location

5. Run the install

 

 

Issue/Introduction

When installing the Enterprise Vault Add-in onto a Windows 7 machine with Outlook 2003 SP 3, the below error message is displayed. Inspecting Programs/Features, shows the version of Office 2003 is SP 3 (11.0.8173.0). When looking at the file version information, it shows that Outlook is not patched (11.0.5510), therefore the install of the EV Add-in fails.
