I also searched the registry for "vim73" and found a few references,
but they were all on obscure paths with meaningless (to me) names.

OutlookVim simply relies on the fact that Vim was setup as an OLE source.
Here is what I suggest:
1. Go to your vim73 directory and run:
gvim.exe -unregister
2. Go to your vim74 directory and run:
gvim.exe -register
See if that makes a difference.
