this isnt the first time you installed windows on that server is it?
when windows install finds another \windows folder - it will add a .0 to the end of the folder it is installing to (or .000 version depending)
I subscribe to the theory that if you are building a server that is not yet in production (obviously) and there is a problem with it, format and reinstall. lingering issues from incorrect configuration during installation are painfully difficult to fix.
If you have the time, format the server - if you dont, uninstall and reinstall exchange (it is an option on the SBS cd's, trust me, i did it yesterday :))

you need to get the correct version of mapi32.dll on your machine
i also just recently installed a 2003 sbs server, and had the same problem (i didnt install outlook, but reinstalled exchange which appears to give the same error, at least during installtion)
my solution, format and reinstall - sure it is overkill, but i will be nursing this server over the next 4 years with any luck - and i dont want 2 hours of laziness to be the reason why i have a problem later down the line.
in your case, if you dont want to format (which i would anyway, considering this isnt your first install on that server (the d:\windows.0 was a give-away)) just uninstall and reinstall exchange.
go to control panel, add remove programs, select Small Business Server, select change, select exchange server, select uninstall, hit next and away you go
good luck
