MAPI service provider installation

P

pete rowland

I have a problem installing a MAPI SP with Outlook 12. In previous versions
of Outlook I have installed into %program files%\common\system\msmapi\<lcid>
with no problem. This does not work with OL12, presumably because the CWD is
no longer set to this folder.

I can force it to work by adding the install folder to the to the path, or
by installing to the Office binary folder. MS support have advised me that
this is the correct thing to do, but I can’t help but feel that this is not
correct, and have not seen any documentation such as a KB article.

Has anyone else encountered this problem ? Or, doed anyone know of any
official documentation?

Thanks
Pete Rowland

BTW specifying the full path in mapisvc.inf.... i.e.
PR_SERVICE_DLL_NAME=..\<lcid>\BJMKFR.DLL does not work)
