Then I went searching some more
Outlook Express 6.0 was included in Windows XP (October 2001) and integrated with Internet Explorer 6

I'm guessing your XP probably has IE 8, not 6.

I'm not sure what you are using is compatible with Dawn 5.4.

Lastly I found these directions which say not to use the Wizard.
1. Dawn is an address book converter program.
Dawn version 5.4 supports Agent 3.0 and later.

2. In Agent, export your Agent address book to a .xml file.

3. Start up Dawn "classic".
Do not use the Dawn "wizard".

4. In Dawn, go to "File » Open » Open File..."
In the "Files of type" box, select "XML files (Agent)"
Navigate to the .xml file which you have just saved, and
open it in Dawn.

Dawn will read and load your Agent address book from
the saved .xml file.

5. Dawn has these options for exporting to Outlook.
(I haven't tried Outlook yet.)
A. File » Save » Export Into Address Book » MS Outlook

5.1 Note that "Outlook Express" and "MS Outlook" are two different
choices.

5.2 If "MS Outlook" is not shown on the list, go to
"Edit » Preferences » Program Interfaces" and adjust
your Dawn configuration.

B. File » Save » Save as File » Save as type » Comma separated values (*.csv)
and then import the *.csv file from Outlook

If you have outbound mailing lists which you need to copy to Outlook, then

I. The MS Outlook *.csv format does not hold mailing lists.

If your MS Outlook can import *.ldif files (LDAP Interchange File format)
then that would be a better format to export from Dawn.


II. In Agent5 there are two ways to put an outbound mailing list together...

(1) You can type email addresses directly in the list's "Names and Address" box.

(2) You can use the "Pick" button to pick ordinary contacts from your
address book. Agent puts the contact's name only in the list's
"Names and Address" box. Agent looks up the email address when
you send the email.

Many other programs' address books only support (2).
