Mac Forum / Applications / Other MS Products / August 2005Outlook 2001 with Tiger
Can I use (download) Outlook 2001 with Tiger? I have a new mac Mini and don't know much yet.... I have Word/Excel and Powerpoint (purchased at Apple store)... Thanx > Can I use (download) Outlook 2001 with Tiger? I have a new mac Mini > and don't know much yet.... I have Word/Excel and Powerpoint (purchased > at Apple store)... > Thanx Hi Scott! Outlook 2001 will run in Classic mode (using Mac OS 9), which Tiger supports. If you have Word, Excel and PowerPoint you may also have Entourage. Entourage from Office 2004 supports Exchange connections. Hope this helps! bill  SignatureWilliam M. Smith (Microsoft Interop MVP) I have a new PowerBook G4 which came pre-installed with Tiger. I went ahead and installed the OS 9.2 support from the setup disk and downloaded a new install of Outlook 2001. But when I attempt to install Outlook I get the error message "Microsoft Outlook cannot write information needed to complete installation". Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? --Tim > I have a new PowerBook G4 which came pre-installed with Tiger.

Your problem sounds like one that was introduced with Panther when it was first released. Outlook 2001 users who had upgraded from Jaguar to Panther all of a sudden couldn't install Outlook 2001 and use it. No definitive solution was ever found that I know of but the workaround was to simply put the Outlook 2001 folder on another disk apart from the startup disk. You could also put it on a disk image if you didn't have a second disk and have the disk image automatically mount at login. Hope this helps! bill SignatureWilliam M. Smith (Microsoft Interop MVP) William & Tim, I just purchased 14 Mac minis with 10.4 Tiger and came across this problem as well. The good news is I've discovered a fix easier than mounted volumes, etc. I installed Outlook into the user's Applications folder - not the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder. /Macintosh HD/Users/<username>/Applications/Microsoft Outlook 2001 Go into the Outlook Files folder within Microsoft Outlook 2001 folder /Macintosh HD/Users/<username>/Applications/Microsoft Outlook 2001/Outlook Files Run the Outlook Settings app and create the profile - it should be successful. Then go into the profile itself and access the Delivery tab. It should ask you to authenticate. After going through that process (and two hours of messing with BSD permissions), I was successfully able to log into my Exchange 2000 server. >> I have a new PowerBook G4 which came pre-installed with Tiger.

That's a great idea and seems to support the theory that this whole problem is permissions based! What happens if you install in the /Users/Shared folder instead so that every user who logs in can access it? bill SignatureWilliam M. Smith (Microsoft Interop MVP) I've the same problem: Can't install Outlook 2001 on my new PowerBook However Outlook 2001 runs smootly on my old PB running Tiger 10.4.2. Tiger on the old PB was installed by upgrading from 10.3.9 and didn't need to install Outlook 2001. It went wrong with the new preinstalled tiger & Classic. Maybe this expierence can help the real knowledgeables rgds Henk William Smith schreef: > > William & Tim, > > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > bill I first thought it was a Tiger issue but I have found posts that talk about 10.3 also with the same problem. I then thought it was G5 poroblem but your new PB is still a G$. What are the similarites? > I've the same problem: Can't install Outlook 2001 on my new PowerBook > However Outlook 2001 runs smootly on my old PB running Tiger 10.4.2.

But I can't open the Global Adressbook and sending E-Mails doesn't work. And with the login is also something strange, I must insert the password twice, it opens two loginmasks. I you have another solution, please let me now. Thanks, Oliver T. Sepper schrieb: > William & Tim, > [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > > > > Hope this helps! bill I also have the same exact error.

It's very annoying that there seems no logical way to fix it. Any other ideas out there besides rebuilding our image from scratch and hoping that works?

Is there a fix for this? The following is a post that was sent to me on another newsgroup. I do not have access to a Mac with Tiger at this moment. Can anyone try the recomendation? -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, Thanks for your update and the screenshot. I have performed extensive research on this issue, for further t-shooting, please check the following points: 1. After discussing this issue with several other senior Mac Office support professionals, I was told that the classic mode is not a good choice for Outlook 2001. As you know, Outlook 2001 was designed for old Mac OS and the classic mode is just something like a workaround. We may encountered certain unexpected issues under this mode. In this way, we can try rebooting the Mac to OS 9 and test the issue again. 2. Enlarge Memory a. How much memory is allocated to the program? I suggest not less than 30,000KB for the troubleshooting. Please check and increase it if necessary. b. Go to Apple | Control Panel | Memory. c. In the Memory dialog, click to check on the Virtual Memory option. d. Close the Memory dialog and try again to test whether the problem persists. By the way, does this issue occur to all clients or just certain ones? What is the Exchange version on your side? We look forward to your progress. Have a nice day! ---------------------------------------------------------- > "Borofka" <Borofka>, "Bennett" wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > We are ALSO having the same problem!
