I'm using Outlook 2003 on Windows XP SP2, and .NET Framework 2.0 since a week (but this didn't change the behaviour in any way with respect to when I had .NET 1.x). In results output window I'm able to sort by any column except for Date!! Even if I manually change the option in the file nothing changes: Date False The same if I click on the column head in lookout result window. Does anyone have encountered a similar problem? On Google I found nothing. That's really annoying as you can imagine. Thank you I’m encountering a very strange problem since I installed Lookout.

Thank you for this great fix. With an apology to the developer, Mike Belshe, this is by far the better workaround. For those who might remember, Lookout does for Outlook what Norton Commander did for DOS (before Windows). Very happy to have Lookout back and running. Windows XP Media Center (laptop) and Windows XP Pro (work)
Outlook 2007, Lookout ver1.30 (1.3.0.24057)

Lookout 1.3.0.24057 on Outlook 2007 Version 12.0.0.6504 Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I did the rename of Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook file in the GAC but was getting the indexing crash. I cleared the Deleted Items and set the indexer to not index 'Deleted Items' and it is working perfectly even with full speed indexing :-) Thanks Lee, it works!

I actually installed it originally by renaming the PIA as discussed above. I don't really care about that as a fix since I really have no use for any other outlook plugins that I can think of. I did install the modified Inventures_OLK.dll, but not the lookout.dll. Indexing was crashing. I unchecked the option to index the contents of documents (I just care about the mail index, really) but no change. I slowed down the index speed to half like 9BelowZero suggested, no change. I noticed at this point that it kept crashing as soon as it would try and index my deleted items folder on my exchange mailbox, so I emptied it. Subsequently it indexed with no crashes. I have no idea whether this was just luck or if some combination of these things fixed it,, but I just wanted to let you all know that there is hope :) I was successfully able to index using 1.3.0.24057 on Outlook 2k7 SP2, Windows 7.

Do a full index (can take a little while) and should all be working fine :-) I am running Windows 7 x64 and have fixed the Crashing issue by:

I can't find it anywhere. Or if someone else is able to, I would be most grateful. Jeff, could you upload lookout122? I can’t find it anywhere.

I had to install Vista Pro (comes with Outlook 2007) on this laptop for other reasons, and the lack of a functional Lookout was bad, really bad, especially on the road. I started with Lookout V1.3 but couldn't get it to work. Took a deep breath and tried the rename thing, no joy renamed them back, tried overwriting the DLL files, still no joy, always a crash during indexing. I found a copy of Lookout122 on a 'kits' cd I had burnt for myself a couple of years ago. Deinstalled Lookout13 (thankyou Microsoft for moving Add/Remove Programs to Programs and Features, not!) installed Lookout122. Replaced the 2 DLL files and voila! I now have a working Lookout. Thanks everyone for working through this issue and coming up with solutions for this old road warrior. Life without Lookout was grim. My next challenge is to install encryption.

Thanks to stroths my Outlook and W7 lives again. I have turned off all the "new" indexing crap that MS is frocing us to use. LookOut workes just great, all queries are there instantly. No wait time. And indexing is complete in 30-60 minutes in the latest (indexing about 3 GB of PST files data). Indexing from MS doesn't work and one doesn't really get what he wants. Indexing of file on my HDD can be also done by LookOut, but I don't use it, I'm searching using Total Commander, the old fashion way - no regrets ;). This is also an asnwer to people complaining here why are we want to user software that is so old and not supported - because 1. It's SMALL, it's FATS and it WORKS :))) Muhehehe Hi!
