nLite it's your program. it's used to shrink the installation of XP and remove components. this thread talk bout outlook Xpress

If you have SP2 slipstreamed, you can add it to the [components] of the answer file.

msnexplr
Specifies whether to install MSN Explorer.

SW  Syntax msnexplr = On | Off 
Values On 
Installs MSN Explorer.

Off 
Does not install MSN Explorer.
 
Default Value On 
Example Msnexplr = On
 
Registry Subkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
    CurrentVersion\Setup\OC Manager\Subcomponents\msnexplr 
Comments Not supported by the Windows Server 2003 family. If MSN Internet Access is available in Windows Welcome, you must install MSN Explorer. 
To replace the MSN shortcut with an MSN Internet Access shortcut, use the following entries in Winbom.ini:

IEAccess entry in the [Components] section 
MSNExplorer entry in the [Shell] section 
Do not set msnexplr = No in the [Components] section of Winbom.ini or Unattend.txt.

check out the ref.chm in the tutorial, there's a lot of other useful info in it...
