Why deploying Outlook after Office resets the patch status?

Hello again,

Yes and not. Yes, I can use CMW to "add" Outlook to the installation but in
this manner the install process CAN'T uninstall old Outlook and I'll have a
big problem (this is stated in resource kit).

I have Outlook outside of the main installation process because Outlook
isn't used in our environment: we use IMAP servers. But some people want to
use Outlook to access these IMAP servers, so I must create an standalone
Outlook installation.

I've "solved" the problem with the patches by applying (chain) the same
patches that I apply in the Office installation but I don't know if this will
result in problems with the Office installation itself.

Any more idea?

Thank you.
