Default EML Files - Missing .exe file

I have received emails with .emf attachments. I understand that I need to
associate this file extension with msimx.exe, but this file is missing from
my Outlook Express folder. How do I install this missing .exe file?

Default EML Files - Missing .exe file

Do you have one of the programs for Windows listed here?
http://www.fileinfo.net/extension/emf

If you do:

Save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With | Choose
Program. Find and choose a program that works and then check the box: Always
use this program to open this kind of file. This should enable you to open
these attachments in the future.

If you don't have a program listed, here is the site for IrfanView.

Default EML Files - Missing .exe file

C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\. There is no msimn in the right hand pane?
msimn.exe /is/ Outlook Express.

Ctrl+Alt+Delete, Processes tab. You don't have msimn.exe listed when OE is
running?

I may be wrong since I have never had an .emf file to open, but from what I
see in searching, you need one of these programs, just as you need Power
Point Viewer to open a .pps attachment.

Default EML Files - Missing .exe file

The .exe file is not in the OE folder but it is running in Task Manager... I
found it under a folder called i386. I've associated the file with this, but
when I try to open the .eml file now, it closes the original mail it is
attached to and nothing else happens...

I still believe you need one of those programs, but let's wait for another
opinion.

msimn.exe is not in i386.
msimn.ex_ is in i386.
You can't associate .eml files to msimn.ex_ .

msimn.exe is in C:\Program Files\Outlook Express.
It is a system file, so it is probably hidden.

Save an .eml file to your hard drive.
Right click on the .eml file, Open With, select Outlook Express or Browse to
C:\Program Files\Outlook Express and select msimn.exe.
Check 'Always use this program'.
