All i did was review the .prf file on the pc's that were imaged with
the OS where office was custom installed on, and then compared the
settings in this file in comparison with the settings in the .mst file
and seen that in the .prf file in section 2, service2=Outlook address
book wasn't listed, and also in section 4 [service2] wasn't listed. So
i added both entries into the .prf file on the pc, and it worked fine.
I also copied this updated .prf file to another pc and it still worked
fine.
