G'day, I've been running Spambayes 1.0.4 for a couple of months now, with Outlook 2003, on a Windows XP 64 system.
It has worked pretty well, and certainly there were no problems that I couldn't solve with the help of the troubleshooting docs! However, that was a trial version of XP64, so I've just done a clean install of the full XP64 (i.e. licenced!). Unfortunately, I cut the timing too fine, and I didn't finish backing up my user data before the system had to be rebooted, so I'm starting SB from scratch. Now I'm in the situation where I can't get SB to run at all without killing outlook immediately. Outlook 2003 is installed fine, and the first time the Spambayes addin ran, it asked me to select the good and bad folders, which I did, and it started sorting. About 6 minutes in, Outlook checked for POP mail and of course SB's database got corrupted and Outlook crashed immediately. When I restarted, Outlook starts to run and asks me to disable the SB addin, if I don't Outlook crashes immediately. I uninstalled SB and reinstalled it, but the problem remains. If I manually enable (tick the little box) in the COM Addin list in Outlook, it's disabled (unticked) as soon as I close that dialog. If I manually remove that entry, and add the dll manually and enable it, the instant I enable it, Outlook crashes with the same error. The SB log files consist of either: Registered: SpamBayes.OutlookAddin Registration complete. Or : Unregistered: SpamBayes.OutlookAddin I can't seem to find any logfiles for Outlook. I will try a complete uninstall and reinstall of Outlook AND SB, and see if I can fix it that way, but I did want you to be aware of this behaviour. As this is a business machine, I need to be careful about what I have cluttering it up, but I'd be more than happy to download and install the Python tool and then to build and try out the 1.1a SB alpha release , but I don't have the resources right now to figure out which Python build and which scripts and what libs and PILs I need, so if there's a clear spot on the SB Wiki, having all that info together in one place would be really useful to me (and maybe to others?)
