The solution - with a fair bit of creativity - that doesn't reply on a VM XP path.

Install Outlook 2007 in both XP and Win 7 drive partitions.

1. From XP64 launch Outlook 2007 and do an import from Outlook Express
2. Export the file as a PST backup from Outlook 2007 to some location on a hard drive that is visible to all O/S
3. Boot Win 7
4. Copy the backup PST file somewhere else on your hard drive (dump but essential to create it with you under Win 7 as the file owner)
5. Boot Outlook 2007 and import the backup.pst file

That only took 3 elapsed days and countless attempts to find a method that worked! Outlook 2003 import just isn't up to it. And OE and O have to be on the same O/S to import on the first place...
