OK did you run the WinMailEdit.reg download file before importing and trying to open WinMail.exe as a shortcut?

In any case, delete both the msoe.dll file & WinMail.exe files from the imported Windows Mail folder. Reboot your PC.

Run the WinMailEdit.reg download file again. Then again copy and paste the 32bit Vista Windows Mail files msoe.dll file & WinMail.exe into the imported Windows Mail folder in the 32bit program files. Send the WinMail.exe to desktop as shortcut. See if this helps? You will still need to run the remove attirbutes command.

Hmm, I did that still the same error with the .dll

I am not sure at this point. I remember this being so easy with a folder grim sent me via pm.

btw poppa bear, Thanks for all your help..

Yeah, unfortunately I've pretty much run out of options. There's no question the msoe.dll is the key.

The only other possibility might be if you're running another email client? I had to remove WinMailLive before I could get Windows Mail to operate.

I think the only way around it will be to get the 64bit Vista Windows Mail files, but sorry can't help with that one.

Maybe give it one last go by deleting everything, running a registry clean, and starting from scratch with a clean slate, doing it exactly as per instructions in the amended guide, except that you will import all Vista Windows Mail files?

If grim no longer has the 64bit Vista Windows Mail files I wll start fresh again.

Thanks for all your help man!!

No worries. Just sorry couldn't get it working.

When I was doing trials on this, first time round I tried to open the WinMail.exe before running the WinMailEdit.reg file, and it wouldn't work. From memory I think it was only the WinMail.exe I had to recopy from Vista to fix it.

If you've still got a copy of the original Windows Mail, it might be worth a shot by getting rid of all the 32bit Windows Mail files; putting back the original 64bit Windows Mail folder in the 64bit program files, and just pasting the 32bit Vista Windows Mail "msoe.dll" file to replace the original 64bit one. It's a long shot, but who knows, if you feel like going to all the effort, eh?

Hope you get it sorted. Cheers PB

Register with Dropbox and then login.
At the top of the first page are some tabs, click the files tab.
In the list of files you will see Windows Mail, click on that and you see will the two Windows Mail types.
Install Dropbox first, it's on the same page bottom left.

Hope this works.
