Home Vista and Desktop search in Outlook 2003 not working.

Recently I added Windows Destop Search to my XP work laptop and once I set
it up and let it index everything it works great!


At home, I have Vista on my laptop. I suppose it is the home version.
I found that Vista has WDS as part of the application
I had already loaded legit Office 2003 software.
Problem:-
I cannot get WDS to search Outlook 2003.
Other files are found OK.

Outlook appears in the Index options, all ticked all the way through the
personal folders etc.

I have enable .pst file type in the advanced index settings.

All the folder properties in the paths to the personal folders have the
indexing enabled.

I have done a Detect and Repair from the Outlook Help button, followed by a
re-index.

I have tried Rebuild with Oultlook launched and left it running all night, in
case it was still indexing in the background.

If I rebuild the indexing always starts and finishes according to the
Indexing Options window within a couple of minutes.

Last night I downloaded and applied Addon:-
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
This is supposed to include .msg type files.

No go.
Has anyone got theirs working?
Am I missing something obvious?
Pleeeze help me!
