SYMPTOMS
When you open an e-mail message that contains embedded Lotus Notes document links on a computer where the Lotus Notes client is not installed, the following error message appears:

An OLE registration error occurred. The program is not correctly installed. Run Setup again for the program.

After you click OK, the e-mail message is not displayed.



CAUSE
When Outlook attempts to locate the OLE server for the embedded documents, the process is unsuccessful because the OLE server is not registered. Outlook then displays the error message. Following the error message Outlook fails to open the message.

STATUS
