Good thought,

says the "The Command Line argument is not valid. Verify the switch you are

So evidently SP3 removes the outlook key, and they don't want you to
re-install it. Does this mean that Microsoft is removing automation
compatibility for Outlook?

For anyone reading this post there seems to be a work-around albeit not as
useful.

Using

set olApp = GetObject( , "Outlook.Application")

this method will fail if outlook is not open, so I tell the user to Open
outlook and press retry or just cancel the function.
