I can confirm that with later versions of Wine, Outlook (not OE) did not
install.
But even with 20041019, Outlook doesn't completely work. The menus are
playing well but only on the main window, File, Print etc.. If I edit a
contact, the menus are no more working (I can't print this contact, I
can't save the modified contact, etc.).

Any idea of what is wrong?
I also got a similar problem with a statistical software. Both problems
are solved with CrossOver. But CrossOver is not a GPL solution as far I
know.

PS: I need Outlook, not for reading mails (Evolution is here) but to
print contacts in a nice way and also to get back contacts which I lost
with Evolution while syncing from my Palm (a Palm handles only a limited
number of categories) and upgrading Evolution.

Cheers,
Nicolas

I can *not* confirm that. I could install Office 2000 with Outlook with
WineTools with every version of Wine since 200409xx and never had
problems.

I can *not* confirm that also! I just tried it with the WineTools
installation using Wine 20041019 and exactly the process you describing
works very well. I must admit that it crashes often. Did you try to get
to the menus via the shortcuts (e.g. ALT+F for the File menu)?
