Lookout on Windows 7 seems to always crash outlook when indexing

I installed lookout (outlook plugin) in outlook 2007 on windows XP and it works fine. I am now trying to do the same thing on WINdows 7 (using this link) but it immediately crashes outlook when it starts indexing.

Here is a screenshot of the crash that i see:

Does anyone know how to get lookout to work on windows 7 and outlook 2007?

Solution 1:

It looks like someone added a comment to the link above. TO get it to work on Windows 7, you need to disable outlook search and then lower the "aggressiveness" chart on lookout and it will not crash anymore.

To avoid error "Outlook 2007 has stopped working", lower the amount of resources used in Lookout Options → Advanced → Indexer Aggressiveness.

Solution 2:

See VLAD link below, which worked for me.

Actually, Lookout worked for me ok with this small change (http://www.belshe.com/2007/12/06/how-to-install-lookout-on-outlook-2007/) using the CMD rename hash but then an update was installed for Outlook 2007 on Win7 and Lookout started to crash.

I tried the CMD rename thing again, and Lookout would open, but would crash on indexing.

I am happy I found the patched dll files on Vlad's website. Using them on Lookout 1.20 works for me, like a dream. And also saves messing with the CMD prompt.

Happy indexing!
