Summary: V0.7 > 0.81 (binary) Outlook hangs after upgrade

Initial Comment:
Environment:

Windows 2000 SP4

Outlook 2000 SP3

Upgrading from SpamBayes outlook addin (binary) from 

0.7 to 0.81.

I Stopped Outlook, ran the install, and ran Outlook 

again. Outlook loaded, and went through the 

configuration wizard, then locked solid! Had to kill it with 

the task manager. Rebooted, and tried again with the 

same result (Without the wizard). I then decided to 

investigate the installation. I found that in my 

application data directory, the installation had created a 

new .ini file, differing from the version 0.7 one by a 

single period in the file name.

0.7 = Alan D. Saunders.ini

0.81 = Alan D Saunders.ini

I also noticed that the default_bayes_customize.ini file 

had been created in this directory, and was a duplicate 

of that in the program installation directory.



Another point, the configuration wizard determined that 

I wanted two inboxes monitoring, my own inbox, and 

that of a robot process that I have been developing, 

and which I am keeping an eye on. This does not need 

filtering by SpamBayes, as the robot process handles 

non-conforming messages. There seems to be no option 

in the wizard to turn off the monitoring for this mailbox.



In the event, I renamed the new 'Alan D Saunders.ini' 

to .new, and renamed the old one to match the new 

name (without the added period). On reloading Outlook, 

all was ok with my original configuation for monitoring my 

own mailbox only, but using the new SpamBayes engine.

Although I seem to have a resolution for this problem, I 

am logging this firstly to point out my problems with a 

view to future installations not being problematical, and 

also to offer other users an idea of where to look ( 

assuming that I have actually got a true resolution!).



.. Alan
