Summary: error initializing the SpamBayes addin

Initial Comment:
Outlook Plugin 008.1 installed on two Windows 2000 Pro 
systems with SP2 using Outlook 2000 SP1.  Both 
connected to the same Exchange 2000 server.  One 
installation works fine.  The other generates the 
following error at Outlook startup: "There was an error 
initializing the SpamBayes addin.  Please restart and try 
again."

I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times with the 
same result.  I have searched the bug reports, but can't 
find the same log error.  Log is attached.

Thanks wolfram, I did the same and can now start outlook 
without 1.09 reporting an error.  However, it does not like my 
old configuration data (can't find the designated 
Inbox/Junk/Suspect folders).  But hey!

Thanks

I had the same problem on WinXp, no Outlook (Express)
installed. I searched the computer for the dll
(pythoncom23.dll) and found two, one in the SpamBayes folder
and one in the windows\system32. They were different size
and date.  I copied the SpamBayes one over the other one
after making a backup. The error message no longer appears.

Has any progress been made on this problem yet? I had the
exact same problem on my system: Windows 2000 Pro, SP4;
Outlook 2000 SR3.

I uninstalled and went back to using 1.0a7/0.81. I would
like to upgrade to 1.0a9/0.9 but can't until this issure is
resolved.

Funny thing though, I installed .9 on my daughter's laptop
that has the exact same setup as my desktop and it works
just fine. Hmm!

I have the same problem after upgrading to 1.09a. Can't 
downgrade because I can't find the file :( My boss had the 
same problem with the earlier version (I lost a lot of points 
selling SpamBayes to him!!!)...

I tried anadelonbrin's suggestion:

   - deleted config files
   - manually configured config files

but that didn't help. Heres the (german) copy of the error 
message Outlook gives me:

   Der Prozedureinsprungpunkt "?
PyCom_SetAndLogCOMErrorFromPyException@@YAJPBDABU_G
UID@@@Z" wurde in der DLL "Pythoncom23.dll" nicht 
gefunden.

which means that the DLL entry point ("?PyCom[...]") could 
not be found.

I have also got this problem on Windows 2003, OL 2003, 
Python 2.3.

Removing 0.9 and re-installing 0.81 worked.  Here is the log 
from my 0.81 startup (0.9 log is identical to that posted 
below)

Cheers!

You can't see the 0.7 version either, just old versions of the 
source.  You should try the 1.0a9 (0.9) release, and see if 
this fixes it.

I have had the same experience. I deleted all versions, and 
the data directory. Still no luck. I am also using Win2K, with 
all updates, and Outlook XP.

What happened to version 0.8? I'd like to reinstall it, but I 
only see 0.7.

I am using Outlook 2003 on Windows XP. (Clean install of 
Windows XP ... i.e. started with FORMAT). I have installed all 
of the patches for Windows and Office. I am getting the 
exact same error message. I've compared the spambase1.log 
file here with the one I have on my system and they are 
identical (with the execption of the username in the paths).

I've ignored the error message and manually configured 
Spambyaes but without any real luck. Un-installed and re-
installed a number of times. Again, no luck.

My environment: Windows XP; Office Pro 2003; Corel Office 
8; Delphi 5; Java 2 Runtime v1.4.2_03; McAfee 7.1.0; .NET 
Framework 1.1

Any pointers on getting this to work would be great.

Thansk for your time.

Could you try renaming/deleting your configuration file and
reconfiguring SpamBayes?  The FAQ explains where to find it,
if you're not sure.
