Default Outlook 2007 says 'no email program associated'

I have just updated from Windows 7 RC to released version; trying to install

"There is no email program associated to perform the requested action.
Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an
association in the Default Programs control panel."

I thought Outlook was the email program?? It will not allow me to set up an
email account (the Email Setup panel appears but nothing happens when I click
the Email accounts button)

This is a guess, but let's try to set Internet options.

In Windows 7, go to Start - Control Panel - Network and Internet -
Internet Options - Advanced - Reset...

It's a chicken and the egg problem.

Until Outlook starts, I don't see a way to set it as a default mail
program. Try starting Windows Live Mail, setting it as default, then try
to start Outlook.

A properly installed Outlook will show up in Default Programs portion of
Control Panel.

Try this: in Internet explorer address bar, type
" press Enter and see what happens.
