Category: Outlook Group: 1.1.x Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 6 Private: No Submitted By: Nick Jackson (jacksonj04) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Error initializing addin under Outlook 2007 / Vista Ultimate Initial Comment: Trying to run SpamBayes under Outlook 2007 on Vista Ultimate returns: There was an error initializing the SpamBayes addin Please re-start Outlook and try again. This has no affect on the error, nor does removing the configuration, database, or even uninstalling and reinstalling (Although the toolbar seems to get stuck as an option even efter uninstall). SpamBayes was working on this configuration previously, I have no idea what's changed but it did coincide with Patch Tuesday. The only things I can see which may have changed it (According to Windows Update) are some definition updates for Windows Mail and Windows Defender. I have not made any changes to my Office configuration, nor installed any applications which rely on the Outlook database since SpamBayes was working. Other apps seem to talk to the database OK, including iTunes, Nokia PC Sync and Mobile Device Center. I did have an issue where Outlook seemed to 'forget' its default profile settings, but this has since resolved itself. Latest log file attached. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: nuno morgado (nmorgado) Date: 2010-01-11 13:26 Message: I've tried the following, under Windos 7 Professional, and it seems to be working.

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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Serenity Consulting (serenityconsult) Date: 2007-06-08 17:01 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1812098 Originator: NO 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.

I tried "icacls spambayes /grant users:F /T" and that had no effect...other that corrupting my pst file ;-) I was able to recover it luckily. I hope you guys can fix this...SB is the best...I hate not being able to use it.

You can either always run outlook as administrator (right click, run as administrator), or change the perms under \program files\spambayes. You can probably get very granular with what to allow, etc, but I just went to c:\program files with an elevated command prompt and did icacls spambayes /grant users:F /T ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nick Jackson (jacksonj04) Date: 2006-12-26 22:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=620331 Originator: YES This issue still occurs following a complete format and re-install of Vista and Office. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=498103&aid=1619690&group_id=61702
