Outlook2000\addin.py is the 'entry-point' - although the entry-point is actually the COM classes in that file, hence there is no __main__ block. You will notice all the initialization done in the mainline (eg, the code-block I mentioned yesterday) which would be a good place to start. Sadly, crashers like this can be hard to pin down without a debugger and debug versions of Python installed...
