Archived from groups: microsoft>public>outlook>installation (more info?)

Outlook messages can be saved in Windows Explorer as ".msg" files. Now that I
have installed Office/Outlook 2007, I cannot double click on a .msg file and
have it open as an email message in outlook.

If I right click and do "open with", Outlook 2007 is not in the available
program list.
I did a browse and found outlook.exe, selected MS Outlook, and then got
message that operation was invalid.

Thanks.
The info in the http://www.slipstick.com/problems/openmsg.htm link was
helpful.
I uninstalled Google Desktop Search. Then was able to open .msg files. Also
seemed to clear up some other problems I was having.

Outlook messages can be saved in Windows Explorer as ".msg" files. Now that I
have installed Office/Outlook 2007, I cannot double click on a .msg file and
have it open as an email message in outlook.

If I right click and do "open with", Outlook 2007 is not in the available
program list.
