What does this "c:\Progra~2\Micros~2\Custom14.prf" point to?
The custom#.prf is what makes all the profile magic happen. The .prf is built by a number of different ways, but it's basically an answer file for profile creation; complete w/ optional choices depending on if an outlook profile exists on the windows user profile or not.
In our setup, by telling outlook it's in first run mode and to import the prf, the 'profile setup wizard' never needs to run and outlook will just pop open to the mailbox as if you've been there before.
It is a mistake on my part to look to delete the importprf key in the script, because outlook apparently deletes it on it's own when it successfully uses it. I watched that occur with both my 'all kix', and 'kix + cmd' scripts via process monitor. But I suspect that there's something amiss w/ that particular regkey that's at issue.
I will test out the wow64option shortly, and also update per allen's suggestion.
