Summary: Source install fails on Office XP

Initial Comment:
I've been trying and trying to get the binary install to 
work since upgrading from Outlook 2000 to Outlook XP 
with no success. So, I tried the source version.... 
Downloaded and installed Python, the Win32 extensions, 
and the zip file for Spambayes.

Running "addin.py" opens a DOS console that quickly 
(too quickly) flashes an error message. It took me about 
six runs to read part of the message. I then located it in 
the 'addin.py' source file. It's this one:

"This Addin requires that Outlook 2000 be installed on 
this machine."
"This appears to not be installed due to the following 
error:"

Apparently it's failing 'cause of not finding something 
related to this:

universal.RegisterInterfaces('{AC0714F2-3D04-11D1-
AE7D-00A0C90F26F4})

Part of that is a registry key, I assume. I *do* have 
that registry key and it has quite a few sub-keys... 
here's one of the values in a sub-key:

MSAddnDr.AddInDesigner.1

My next attempt will be uninstalling Office XP and then 
using some Office clean-up tools I've read about from 
Microsoft's website. Will report back...

Uninstalled Office XP, cleaned up any remnants per another 
MS KB article, and reinstalled. NO Service Packs installed yet.

Tried binary instalers 002 and 003. Both fail with 
same "Unable to register DLL/OCX" error.

Tried source install again and still get error from "addin.py" 
regarding Outlook 2000 not being installed or found.
