When you install Microsoft Outlook Express 5, which is included with Windows 98 Second Edition, the Outlook Express folder may be displayed as "Outloo~1."

MORE INFORMATION
During the file-copying stage of Setup, the files are copied to the Outloo~1 folder. When you continue Setup, the files are verified in the Outlook Express folder. Because the Outlook Express folder does not contain any files, error messages are displayed. When you copy all the files into the Outlook Express folder before you run Setup, you can complete Setup successfully.
