MAPI32.DLL corrupt in Vista

I

ingmar

I have a brand new Acer with preloaded testversion of Office 2007 which i do
not want. Bought Office 2003. Tried to uninstall 2007 before engaging it.
Then installed 2003. Outlook does not open with the usual box: mapi32.dll is
corrupt or used by another .... I don´t know how many items to uninstall
to get rid of Uff 2007, is SQLserver 2005 on of them? How handle in Vista to
access and repair mapi?

Sounds like you failed to uninstall the trial
Recover your PC to factory spec, then uninstall the trial version before you
do anything else

Might try renaming/deleting the MAPI32 dll files at \program files\common
files\system\msmapi\<LangID>. Once you rename/delete, do a detect/repair of
Office 2003 and it should bring in the right versions of MAPI.

Note: Known issue that an uninstall of Office 2007 leaves behind the
MAPI32.DLL file. Office/Outlook 2003 install can't overwrite it.
