To manually register and unregister the binary release of spambayes, use 'bin\outlook_addin_register.exe" instead of addin.py - the same cmd-line options should work though.
Try the following: * Shutdown outlook * Execute outlook_addin_register.exe without any args. * Start Outlook * Look in your %TEMP% directory for spambayes1.log (I *think* that is the filename - see the "troubleshooting guide") and mail the contents of that file back to the list. If that logfile can't be found, or shows no evidence of spambayes being loaded at all, then you should get back to looking into if Outlook has disabled all addins. If the user is not an administrator of the machine, you may also like to try installing it via an admin account.

I've tried all the info I've found via Google searches (as mentioned in my last email, before I noticed that you wanted a log file)...one moment and I'll grab that and paste it in.... here's the scoop: Win XP Media Center Edition 2005 Outlook 2003 SpamBayes 1.0.4 *working* ....give to client...... (first mistake) User managed to uninstall SpamBayes, leaving the toolbar in place (fixed per your instructions). When I tried to find the addin.py file (or close to that) to run --unregister, couldn't find it. Flushed out every trace of SpamBayes I could find (with help from Google searches): c:\docs&settings\<user>\Application data; c:\ProgramFiles\SpamBayes; searching on 'spambayes', 'bayes', & 'spam' in registry; etc. Still wouldn't install SpamBayes. Next I assumed that Outlook 2003 was broken (possible), and that it wouldn't allow *any* COM add-ins. So I downloaded and installed AttachmentOptions. It installed fine, and added its tab to the 'Tools' | 'Options' menu. When I run the SpamBayes installer, it runs fine to completion. One odd quirk, though: It doesn't fill in the checkbox to 'register this plug-in for all users.' How am I being stupid, and is it possible to correct it? Thanks In Advance, Doug Hayden
