Anyone know what extensions are needed to run Entourage in OS X?

Are you referring to the current Entourage 2001 that runs in OS 9 and
Classic? Almost everything it needs is in the Office subfolder of the
Microsoft Office 2001 folder. It installs very little in the OS 9 System
folder -- just Preference items (the Microsoft folder and the PPC
Registration database) in the preferences folder, and a few libraries maybe.
There are several of these, all beginning with "Microsoft" and "MS", in my
Extensions folder, but most of them are for IE, not Office, and fewer (if
any at all) for Entourage rather than Word/Excel. It does not need any extra
extensions to run in Classic layer of OS X, if that's what you're asking. It
obviously needs the various Apple Open Transport, TCP/IP stuff to work. It
needs some version of CarbonLib to work in Classic, like all apps.
What exactly are you getting at? Are you trying to remove extensions but
still want Entourage to work? Are you finding it doesn't work in Classic and
wonder what you may have removed and need to put back? I think you'd better
go back to the standard install of OS 9.2.1 that comes with OS 10.1, or 9.1,
and reinstall Office 2001 and its SR1 update. If you're finding that
Entourage works in OS 9.x but not in Classic, you must have removed some
Apple extension, not an MS one. Reinstall your OS and you should be fine. If
Entourage is working when you're booted from OS 9, then it has everything of
its own it needs to work in Classic.
Here's a possibility: are you trying to _install_ Office 2001 or start up
Entourage for the first time while booted in OS X? That may not work. the
installer - actually the First Run mechanisms of the various Office apps -
have to orient themselves to the OS 9 System Folder and probably look for
the boot drive to do so, and also need to install the Microsoft User Data
folder in the OS 9 Documents folder while it is the "system " Documents
folder. (After it's installed, you can move the MUD folder anywhere and put
an alias in the Documents folder.) Your Office 2001 Identities folder which
houses the Entourage database , and other essentials for Entourage, live in
that MUD folder. You absolutely need to have a Documents folder for the MUD
folder or its alias to reside in. Perhaps that's what you're missing?
