Import/Export engine not installed?

[Jontyonthemove]

Hi. I've just bought a shiny new Sony Vaio and need to get all my
contacts/emails/etc over to my new machine but my copy of Outlook 2000 (which
was pre-installed) is telling me that I don't have the Import/Export engine
installed. I have a copy of Office 2003 which I could upgrade to but I'm not
sure if upgrading will delete the existing data.

Help!

Please.

Upgrading does not delete any data.
One must wonder why you can't install the Importers and Exporters from your
Office 2000 installation medium.
What will your license issues be with this upgrade version if you do not
have a fully licensed copy now?

Copy your PST from the old machine to the new machine. Open it on the new
machine in Outlook with File>Open>Outlook Data File. Make it your delivery
location. All done.

Hello - On a related note to this thread, I am receiving the same error
message for the same program (Outlook 2000) when I try to export to any file
type other than *.pst. Unfortunately I am trying to convert my personal
folders to Entourage 2004, which will only accept comma or tab delimited
files (out of the options available to me), and my Office 2000 installation
medium is in box in storage far, far away. Any thoughts on how I can find a
download for this 'engine' or find a pst import utility that is compatible
with Outlook 2000/ Entourage 2004?

Thanks!
