Since the new WinMailEdit. isn't there yet, maybe it wd be easier for you to tell me how exactly I replace the msoe.dll? I wd surely appreciate your help and hope I'm not going out of the bounds of this post by asking you--I wd much prefer that to taking the 'long way around'! Thanks, Terri
I did not mean the term the long way around the way it sounded. The instructions what to do have already been clearly given.
If you are asking me the basics of how to you replace the msoe.dll, which is simply to Copy/Paste the 'correct' one on top of the other to replace it, which takes 5 seconds - to run the tutorial just takes a few minutes, so you see the term 'long way around' I used was relative. If you don't know how to proceed then that's why the tutorial is there that does everything for you so just use the tutorial process.
You mention new tutorial but it is the new tutorial already, again the only thing missing is the one simple registry key added to the WinMailEdit.reg that then deletes the one registry key as you run the tutorial process, that then stops SFC from overwriting the proper msoe.dll going forward 'specifically' on Win7 x64. You terri don't need to do that to make 'your' WinMail run again, it's only needed if you want to run SFC again as mentioned.
The list of files for my current WM installation has both a msoe.dll and a -msoe.dll (note the dash on second one), so do I replace one of those? I still have the files in my download folder from my original installation of Windows Mail, and see a msoe64.dll there, which I assume is the 64-bit version I need. Is that what I use to replace whichever of the dlls, or both, that are now in my program file? I'm afraid I'm rusty on all this as haven't had a serious glitch to repair in awhile! So I was hoping someone could tell me exactly how to just replace the faulty dll file.
Thanks for your reply.
Well, if you feel you want to do it manually, I see you have everything you need already from your second post quote above.
Be sure WinMail is closed before you begin.
Now just delete both the msoe.dll and the -msoe.dll you mentioned above thats in your WinMail programs folder now.
Now copy/paste that msoe64.dll you mentioned that's still in your downloads folder, into your WinMail programs folder which is:
C:\Program Files\Windows Mail
..of course then
Be Sure to rename that file now to just msoe.dll
..and that's it, WinMail should start right up
(fwiw, terri, if you had run the first page Tutorial again on your setup, in the end, the only changes made, ends up to do the exact same thing! - so both way are good)
Now to fix SFC, if you wanted to add the registry key yourself, then for now until Slartybart adds the entry to the WinMailEdit.reg, then to do it manually make a registry file of that same key and merge it, is done by opening a new blank .txt file in notepad, copy/paste this entry (within the quote) into it:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SideBySide\Winners\amd64_microsoft-windows-mail-core-dll_31bf3856ad364e35_none_c3c1597075bcd214]
Save the notepad file as anything.txt ... then rename the extension from .txt to .reg, and then double click this new reg file to merge its contents - done. SFC wont bother x64 WinMail msoe.dll anymore.
