Office 2007 Outlook reports MSVCR80.DLL Missing

Applies to VISTA.
This should be fixed in office 2007 sp2 but if for some reason it is not fixed after the servicepack installation then you can do the following:
The only known cause for this is when an outlook.manifest.exe file has been placed by a COM addin in the folder where outlook.exe is installed.
Now, MS puts that file there in the outlook.exe folder and if it’s not their
file but some other one things get broken and Outlook can’t start.
If you have that file in your outlook.exe folder open it in Notepad and make
sure it has an entry in there with this text “Microsoft.VC80.CRT”. If that’s
in there it’s the MS file and should be OK. If something else is there you
need to remove it and replace it with the original MS file.
