I can't write some of my program files because they are in use. Please stop Outlook and Retry and then i can continue

I get this error even if outlook is not running.

    Try running the setup with the "run as administrator" otherwise contact company that develops said program.

Outlook 2007 and later comes with its own search indexing feature, integrated with Desktop Search. I believe this is actually derived from Lookout, even.

    True, but the built in search feature takes roughly 100 times as long to search, so people with large inboxes prefer Lookout.
