I have a ost file with outlook calendar stored in but i don't want to
install outlook.
Can I create a profile and register ost file to it?
Who can tell me what should I do?
Thx.

No. In fact, you can't use the .ost file at all if it was orphaned from its
original profile.

Well, What about the pst file?
Could I use the pst file in that case?

If you have a .pst file, you can open it with Outlook, but not without
Outlook.
