Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: wine

Installed Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 in WINE, setting the WINE
configuration for the installer to a simulated Windows XP environment.
The installer went throught the installation routine for MS Word, MS
Excel and MS Outlook (though a little too fast for my taste) with no
problem.

When I click Anwendungen -> Sonstige -> Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, I
get an error message ("Microsoft Office Outlook kann nicht gestartet
werden").

Since Evolution's way of dealing with an MS Exchange server is far from
being ready for productive use and MS Internet Explorer (which would
enable you to use OWA Premium) is not available for Linux, this is quite
dramatic for me (means that I cannot do my company work and I will have
to switch back to MS Windows).

One thing that might be interesting in context with this bug report:
Even though I clicked "MS Word", "MS Outlook" and "MS Excel" for
installation (in the installer), Ubuntu actually only provides a program
launcher icon for "MS Office Outlook", but PLUS icons for "Microsoft
Clip Organizer", "Microsoft Office 2003 Assistent zum Speichern eigener
Einstellungen", "Microsoft Office Anwendungswiederherstellung",
"Microsoft Office Document Imaging" and "Microsoft Office Picture
Manager", all of which I never chose for installation.
