OutlookVim starts the wrong gvim

My PC at work was recently upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7. I
installed Vim 7.3 on it and installed the OutlookVim macro into
Outlook. So far so good. A while later, I installed Vim 7.4 when
it became available at the Vim Without Cream site. This continued
to work fine as long as a gvim instance was already running, which
happened to always be the case.

Today I tried using OutlookVim from Outlook without any other gvim
running and it opened gvim 7.3 instead of 7.4. I can't figure out
how to get it to open gvim 7.4.

* Neither Vim installation is in my PATH.

* I opened Control Panel -> Default Programs -> "Associate a file
type or protocol with a program" and found three extensions
associated with Vim: .log, .txt and .vmb. For each of those, I
set .../vim74/gvim.exe as the default application.

* I searched the OutlookVim plugin files and did not see a specific
version of gvim specified anywhere.

* I reinstalled the OutlookVim macro into Outlook.

None of that worked.

Does anyone know how I can get OutlookVim to start gvim v.4 instead
of gvim 7.3?

Thanks,
Gary
