Summary: Outlook 2007 will not load SpamBayes

Initial Comment:
I installed the latest version of SpamBayes Outlook filter. Each time I start Outlook, not I get an error:

"There was an error initializing the SpamBayes addin

Please re-start Outlook and try again."

I'm using Outlook 2007 on Vista RTM Windows.

I found a log file in my temp directory and attached that if it helps.

According to
http://loytty.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!D38B786E8EA7A572!781.entry, one
workaround is to ensure that the SpamBayes installation folder (eg.
C:\Program Files\SpamBayes) is fully writable to everyone (which on Vista
won't be the case - C:\Program Files\ and children are protected).  Haven't
tried it myself yet, so YMMV.

You may already know this information, but I'll pass it along...

I am sucessfully (sort of) running Spambayes 1.1a2 with Outlook 2007 under
Vista.

I had no problems running Spambayes 1.0.4 under Outlook 2003 and Vista (I
did an inplace upgrade from XP to Vista - and subsequently did an inplace
upgrade from Office 2003 to Office 2007). 

Here is my current status... Running with UAC active -Outlook 2007 will
crash on startup if the Spambayes addin is installed. Outlook will continue
to crash until you give it permission to disable the Spambayes addin.

Once Outlook 2007 has started, I can go to the Trust Center, remove the
Spambayes addin, then without leaving the Trust Center, add the Spambayes
addin. Next I go under Help and enable the disabled Spambayes addin. 

Spambayes runs great until I shut down Outlook and have to do the above
all over again. I have tried de-activating Spambayes (as opposed to
removing it) prior to shut down. This does not work. The addin must be
disabled - however I am not aware of any user accessible tool within
Outlook that would allow me to do this prior to closing Outlook.

If I use the 'Run as Administrator' option to start Outlook, Outlook
starts normally with the Spambayes addin active. However, this creates
other problems for me as one of the Outlook archive files is on a domain
based network drive. Running as the Administrator for just this application
does not allow me to log into this network drive when I am already logged
into the drive with my own local machine account.

Right now, I shut down Outlook as seldom as possible and use Vista's sleep
mode.
