Question : Installing PFBackup under Windows 7

I'm installing for the first time the Outlook PST backup utility (pfbackup) for Outlook 2007 on a Windows 7 system.  The install runs fine, but the Backup menu isn't in Outlook.  I can't even find pfbackup in "Remove Programs".

Any ideas on getting pfbackup to work under Windows 7?

Thanks,

Steve

Answer : Installing PFBackup under Windows 7

I found the answer on a Microsoft forum.  

http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.general&tid=1d77b27a-b0a6-4101-b252-35ca2fea2bb0&cat=en_US_31ae1f62-930c-4298-b074-3f017f7df8c5&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=&p=1

This worked great for me.

1) Install the pfbackup
2) It won't appear in the list on Outlook
3) I start Outlook and go to Tools/Trust Center
4) Select the Add Ins tab, go down to COM and select add
5) Select add again in the new window, and browse to a directory similar to
this:
c:\program files\microsoft office\office12\addins
6) select the file: outbak.dll
7) voila! the option now appears on the File menu and works perfectly.
