SYMPTOMS
When you create an Msbatch.inf file using the Microsoft Batch98 tool and you choose not to install Microsoft Outlook Express, the program may be installed anyway.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the entry for Outlook Express is created using an incorrect syntax.



RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, use a text editor (for example, Notepad) to modify the [OptionalComponents] section of the Msbatch.inf file:  Find the following line:

"Microsoft Outlook Express"=0

 Replace it with the following line:

"Outlook Express"=0
