Has anyone successfully got Outlook Express working in Windows 7?
Yeah, I know the workaround. Virtual XP with Outlook Express, move the shortcut to the all users start menu in XP and I can use it "standalone" in 7. The problem is that when you click any links via this method, they open in the virtual mode's browser, which is really laggy for videos and scrolling through text. Also, because I'm on a system with only 2gb of ram, I'd like to keep the resources reserved for other applications.
I've copied the Outlook Express folder from virtual XP to the same path in Windows 7. When I run msimn.exe, I get this error:
Outlook Express could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be loaded.
I do not know if its even possible to make this work, but if it is just a question of registering missing .DLLs, hope is given. Windows Live mail is an awful, awful mail client. I tried for a week to get used to it and it's just a complete pile of crap.
Anyone tired this with or without success?
This particular machine is 32 bit Windows 7 Pro.
Thanks.
