MAPI32.dll problems

This did the trick for me!
I've been screwing with this for days! I can't tell you how much you
guys help by making these posts.
One thing I did have to do was to delete the file in "safe" mode
(uninstalled Desktop Search first).
M$ really needs to put something up on the knowledge base about this...

Thanks again!!

I am having the same problem all or most of these posts are about. Downloaded
Beta and had problems so I uninstalled it. When I tried to go back to Office
Standard 2003 I got the Error message. I am without Outlook and I need it. I
have tried renaming MAPI32.DLL to MAPI32.old and it did not work for me. I
tried to delete the MSMAPI32.DLL and wasn't allowed to...access denied.
Any other solutions would be greatly appreciated to say the least.
HELP!

Just a note to let those of you know who may not already know. When you
download Beta 7 and start through the customized installation, if you select
to NOT remove old office files, in the bottom of the dialog box it tells you
that Outlook must be removed for Bets 7. Also, I had not downloaded and
applied all of the Office Service Packs and the the new viewers, etc. I
reinstalled Beta 7 after doing all of the updates and now have Outlook back
in Beta 7. It's better than nothing I guess.

I tried deletingt the MAPI32.dll and then tried to delete Business Contact
Manager in safe mode and Outlook still wants to open BCM.

Oh.yes, Windows Live One Care also will not open.

Never used a news group before, but having just, well a week ago, loaded
Office 2003 for the first time, had this Mapi32.dll problem. Like others have
been frustrated that KB wouldn't produce a solution, hence following your
advice. As a precaution (I am old and not a teckie!!) saved MSMapi32.dll to a
removeable drive. Couldn't then delete MSMapi.dll but was able to rename it
to old and then restarted OL2003. IT worked!!!!!!! Many thanks to you all who
provided the solution, but why not MS?

That Link would work some of the time. There still can be a problem because
the MSMAPI32.dll file may not be able to be replaced. It is possible to have
it say "Can not remove file because it is being used". A check with
CtlAltDelete shows no active program. Therefore, the computer has to be
started in Safe Mode by restarting and pusing F8 before the computer comes on
line. Then Select Safe Mode. Then you can go to Program Files \Common
Files\System\MSMAPI\1033 and remove the MSMAPI32.dll file that is so small.
Then when the computer is rebooted you can put the proper MSMAPI32.dll file
in its place. This worked for me. There was still a problem with Contact
Manager and it had to be removed.

Same issue happened to me, the here is the link I found actually
worked.

Just locate the file from one of the computer with good Office 2003 and
copy it over.
That's all you have to do to get the Outlook 2003 re-start.

Had the same issues with the MAPI32.dll file. I never installed the desktop
search, which probably saved me. Initially I uninstalled and reinstalled
Office 2007 and got Outlook running again. But the next time I opened Outlook
the same thing happend. So, I uninstalled Office 2007, deleted the MAPI32.dll
files and reinstalled Office 2003 and that worked for me

One question I do have is that when installing Office 2007, it did not
upgrade Office 2003, I still had both suites on my PC. Has anyone else had
this issue?

Howdy-

Rename the MSMAPI32.dll file to MSMAPI32.xxx and restart outlook (I tried
renaming the mapi32.dll file all day long, and it still would not work).
Renaming MSMAPI32.dll is the only way I could get outlook 2003 to start
again. I made the mistake of uninstalling outlook 2007 because I could not
get the desktop search to install, so I uninstalled 2007 hoping my 2003
outlook would work. Big mistake.

I appear to have similar problems as others who have attempted to load
Outlook 2007. After apparently successfully (???) loading Office 2007 beta,
I could not start Outlook. I uninstalled 2007, and re-installed 2003 Office
Pro. I received the error message "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."

I reinstalled outlook with the same results.
I renamed MAPI32.dll as MAPI32.old and ran fixmapi.exe. No luck

Can anyone supply any other suggestions? I am out of luck and I cannot
access my calendar or messages.
