active sync trouble

[oprac]

just got my touch today and dled activesync. However when i connect my touch to my comp though usb, when they try syncing, this error message comes up..

"You will be able to synchonize only files, folders, and other nonoutlook items if you continue.
To synchronize email, calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes with this computer, do the following: disconnect the device, install and run outlook, and then reconnect the device and complete the synchronization setup wizard"

do i have to install outlook on my comp or phone or something? if i do, where can i DL it at? thanks
