Outlook 2003 mapi32.dll error
 
I just installed Office 2003 from a disk and cannot open Outlook. I get this
error message instead:

Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. MAPI32.DLL is corrupt or the wrong
version. This could have been caused by installing other messaging software.
Please reinstall Outlook.

Reinstallation does not help. All other Office programs work fine.

Any ideas anyone? Thanks!

Try renaming the MSMAPI32.DLL to MSMAPI32.XXX. Then try starting Outlook.

File is at \Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033 for english
systems.

run fixmapi.exe - it's in one of the office folders or use search (use
advanced options for looking in hidden files and folders).

Hi - I tried that and nothing happens. Renaming the file as the previous
poster indicated worked, however. Thank you so much for responding!

MAPI32.dll error in Vista
 
I am getting the mapi32 error for Outlook 2003 in Vista. The fixmapi doesn't want to run and I am not allowed to change the name of the mapi32.dll file. I have uninstalled and reinstall a couple of times and one time I ran the installation as administrator. I AM GOING TO SCREAM! Any ideas? PPPPLLLLLEEEEAAASSEEE.

Outlook 2003 mapi32.dll error
 
I have the same error, caused by installing, then uninstalling the OneNote
2007 trial. Now my outlook is totally unrunnable. Renaming msmapi32.dll
doesn't work at all for me -- just prompts me for an Office CD, which of
course doesn't exist since I got this Office preinstalled.

Oh my! I have been trying for weeks to get this corrected. I had followed
every instruction I could find, including wasting money on a program that
said it would fix this issue. I renamed all the other MAPI32.DLL files as
other instructions her said to do, and they did not work. I ran the mapifix
thing and it was totally useless. But this! This worked! THANK YOU THANK YOU
THANK YOU!

I am having the same error message. I have done a complete search of my
computer and cannot find "MSMAPI32.DLL" or "MAPI32.DLL". Any suggestions?
