Outlook 2007 on Vista 5384 Indexing not enabled

[Raphael Van de Graaff]

Indexing is not enabled for Outlook 2007 Beta 2 on Vista Beta 2 (build 5384).
Vista Indexing is installed and appears to be working, but when I go to
Tools > Options > Search in Outlook, I can't select any mail files for
indexing, the option is greyed out. Any ideas?

What do you see in Control Panel | Indexing Options?

Thanks for the response. It looks like Vista's indexing may not be working
after all. the CP opens, but the message is just "Waiting for status
update." It's been that way for several minutes.
I know it's really a question for another forum, but do you have any hints

Trying to rebuild the index is what I've seen recommended most often.

Thanks again, what steps do I need to take to rebuild the index?

Control Panel | Indexing Options | Run as Administrator | Continue | Advanced | Rebuild.

This does seem to be a conflict with Office 2007 and Vista Search based

Did you find the answer already, because I have the same problem. The
difference may be, that it worked before and for some reason no longer.
