pst2gb + scanpst failed

[K D Papoulia]

I have a file (archive.pst) created by Outlook 2003 or 2007 that I am trying
to open with a new installation of Outlook 2007. Outlook will not open it,
stating that it is too large: 2,072,773,632 bytes. I searched for help with
this problem on the Microsoft website, and I found a download called pst2gb,
which I ran on this file. It was apparently successful. The instructions
say that after pst2gb finishes, I should run scanpst on the resulting file.
However, scanpst fails on the resulting file, popping up a dialog box that an
error occurred and no output was produced during Phase 6.

Thanks,
KDP

If that file was created in either 2003 or 2007 using default format then
its not too large, its only if it was created in 97 -2002 format (ansi) that
it might be too large, in which case you tuncate the file, again untill
scanpst.exe runs successfully
