I'm running Win98SE fresh out of the box. Nothing installed but
Outlook 2000.
Don't worry about the network components - when I look at my network
properties the box is empty. The important thing is that performing
the partial install copies whatever DLL it is you need for Outlook
to work. Go ahead and try the rest of the steps...
