Default Office 2003 Customization Wizard

When using the Office 2003 Customization Wizard to install Office, including
Outlook from a network location... after logging on as Administrator to the
local machine, the MAIL icon is missing.

However, if I run the same network installation, same MSI &MSTs from the
command line, the MAIL icon is available.

What is it about the Office 2003 Customization Wizard that prevents the
registration of the MLCFG32.cpl - does a registry key have to be added? i.e.
Add/Remove Programs during custom install wizard?

Short answer is yes as the .cpl file is not placed in the \windows\system32
directory. All applications that place a cpl in their application folder
has to create a reg key that informs CP where to find it. I'm not sitting
at a XP/Office 2003 machine to give you that location, but if you need it,
please post back.

Other than that, I usually don't see the CP applet show up until I launch
any one of the office applications. Best guess is that it has something to
do about first run situations and that is when the windows installer creates
said key getting under the HKCU hive rather than HKLM.
