I am the archive of the team through lookout. I fear that it is about time to move back to 2007 and checked the web via google to find Mike's fix. This is a small step on the Web, but a giant leap for my kind. I have downgraded from Outlook 2007 to Outlook 2003 to ensure the use of Lookout. I am the archive of the team through lookout.

But as I forcefully also switched to Windows 7 I still have a big problem regarding using Lookout - as it seems, it simply doesn't work with Windows 7. Understandingly, as it is quite old now. Maybe an update of Lucene.NET could help - but that's a bit too far out for me. The other and only caveat I ever had with Lookout was the missing indexing of PDFs. So I tried out Lookeen - it seems Axonics spams forums with pseudo user reviews telling anyone how good it is. I would even pay for it - but it never managed to complete indexing w/o crashing Outlook. So here I am, left w/o the most important productivity tool (sincerely!). Any comments is welcome Hello Mike

I used the zip provided by Stroths (http://rapidshare.com/files/194044374/LookOut_for_Outlook.zip) and after installation I got the "access denied" message. I bypassed it, and I started the indexing process which works fine, but I am getting at the end the message "I'm sorry but a serious program error ( Object reference not set to an instance of an object) occurred...". The indexing process stopped at the end of the job, but I can retrieve documents like before without any other problem. My configuration is Windows 7, and Office 2007. Does anyone know how to fix the message "Object reference..." mentionned above? Thanks! I am impressed by this fantastic “Lookout Community”!

I think most people agree :) Been ages since i stumbled on a little internet GEM of a tip like this. I installed this last friday and had it indexing no probs however im not sure what i did after, but proceeded to break it shortly afterwards. Spent most of friday and a bit today hacking around with the various combinations and this is what worked for me... Machine details - Windows 7 RTM x64 ultimate, Outlook 2007 SP2, Lookout 1.30, 8 pst's about 2GB each, Exchange 2k3 connected. Steps: rename Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook to an OLD file echo . > Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook rename Policy.11.0.Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook to an OLD file install LookOut 1.30 Copy the Inventures_Olk.dll to program install locale - in my case prog file\x86 etc Working now and indexing without crashing when opening outlook or when the indexer is just about to start, as i was seeing on friday. Inventures_Olk.dll can be got here - http://www.wirwar.com/blog/2008/01/22/search-e-mail-at-lightspeed-using-lookout-with-outlook-2007/ Also tried this out on Windows 7 and Outlook 2010 beta - it does not work Hope this helps.

I installed it, lost it with OUtlook 2007, reinstalled it as per instructions above, then lost it agin after my Outlook was migrated to exchange. I've follwed the instauctions again, include the extended instructions provided by Rohan, but no Joy. When I start outlook, Lookout doesn't start. Help! I am lost without Lookout. After outlook itself, it is my primary productvity tool. Is there anything special that needs to be done when your primary mailbox is an exchange mailbox? Love Lookout!
