It does have a caveat about *where* you install it: It needs to be someplace other than Program Files, like C:\SpamBayes. Win Vista/7/8 have a more stringent permissions model, and if you install SpamBayes in Program Files, it won't work because it won't have permission to run. Installed outside of Program Files it runs as expected. If you are running 64 bit Office, SpamBayes won't work as an plugin. SpamBayes is a 32 bit application, and you can't use a 32 bit plugin in a 64 bit program. Your option for SpamBayes with 64 bit Office is to install it as a proxy server between your Internet connection and Outlook. 64 bit Windows systems will run 32 bit programs, and SpamBayes will run stand-alone. It just won't work as a plugin. (Getting SpamBatyes to work as a plugin in 64 bit Outlook would require someone to rebuild it as a 64 bit application. Thus far, no one who can has volunteered to do it.) > Rob Toler ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 _______________________________________________ SpamBayes@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Info/Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
