Had to attend to important family business, funeral, that took some time. Now I am trying, for the second time, to follow the instructions to reinstate Windows Mail. I get an error message when trying to execute WinMailEdit.reg. " Can't import C:\Users\Daniel\Downloads\WinMailEdit\WinMailEdit.reg: Not all data was successfully written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes."
Please help!

Hello Mathew,
I think that may be a question best asked at our sister site Eight Forums instead. :)
However, I would think that it would be best to drop Windows Mail since it is no longer supported by Microsoft, and move on to a newer and better email client of your choice instead. For example, Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, etc....

Batch File of Fix
Hey, I made a batch file of the fix on your page since I plan to use it on a lot of computers. I have attached the zip with the batch files (and other necessary components) if you wanted to add them to your page for people that want an easy fix. Pretty self-explanatory. Thanks for the great fix!
*EDIT All you need to run is "winmail32.bat" for a 32bit installation, or "winmail64.bat" for a 64bit installation. The rest of the files are just there for the batch file to use.Last edited by EKMantis; 25 Jan 2012 at 09:35.

Sure, all you do is run "winmail32.bat" for 32 bit installations, or "winmail64.bat" for a 64 bit operating system. That will do the entire windows mail tutorial for you. (besides troubleshooting of course)
Hope it helps, Mantis

Service Pack 1 Problems
I did the Windows Mail fix as originally posted on a friend's computer.
All went well. Thank You again...
I thought I had all windows updates done, but I was wrong.
Service pack 1 would not install.
I read through various posts, and simply gave up and did a total re-load of Win 7 and added WLM for my friend.
Was there ever a final resolution of the SP1 problem?
I fear SP2 on my computer with WM loaded.

I would restart your computer and try doing the tutorial from stage one(without opening or trying to open windows mail!), or run one of the batch files I have posted(Run as Administrator). I would recommend disabling User Account Control if you have not done so already. If that still doesn't work, you probably have a permissions problem in your registry.
