- Microsoft Outlook 97, versions 8.0, 8.01, 8.02, 8.03 
- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

By default, the Microsoft Outlook 97 Setup program creates a shortcut to the
Microsoft Internet Explorer Setup program on the Windows Desktop. This shortcut
will have one of the following names, depending on the version of Microsoft
Outlook 97 that is being installed:

  Setup for Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.01
  Setup for Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.02

MORE INFORMATION
================

This behavior is by design. However, you can use the Microsoft Network
Installation Wizard (NIW) against a 32-bit Microsoft Outlook 97 client
installation point to disable this behavior. The NIW is provided with the
Microsoft Office 97 Resource Kit, and the latest version can be obtained from
the following Web site:

  http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork

Follow these steps to prevent the IE Setup icon from being created:

1. Start the NIW and select the Setup.lst file where the client installation
  point is located.

2. On the "Start Menu and Desktop Items" page, disable the Setup for Microsoft
  Internet Explorer 3.02.lnk option.

3. Complete the remaining steps presented by the NIW.

4. Run the Microsoft Outlook Setup program with the /L command-line option to
  use the new .lst file that the NIW creates. For example:

  SETUP /L CUSTOM.LST

For more information about using the NIW to customize a Microsoft Outlook
installation, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
