Office SP3 wipes out OE

[cmar]

When I did an Office SP3 update, it wiped out my OE. I had to restore to
before the Office SP3 update. Is it possible to update to Office SP3 without
losing OE?

When you say "wiped out OE" what EXACTLY do you mean? I've never heard of an
Office update "wiping out" anything....

I mean that OE was no longer on my system. I luckily did a Restore before
the SP3 update so I was able to reverse the entire installaion of SP3,
getting back OE.

Hi Cmar,

Outlook Express is part of MS Internet Explorer and the OE program name is MSIMN.exe (MS Internet Mail & News). Usually an Office
update wouldn't remove a portion of Internet Explorer, although it's possible that a shortcut to it could have been 'corrected' if
it was found by the MS Installer to be damaged in which case you might have to do a search for MSIMN.exe to be able to use it.
