Public ShareFolder F.A.Q. ID 16

Public ShareFolder cannot be added over the services and/or Data/Datafile Management, because it is not listed here. The installation was successful without any errors?


A possible reason could be that the "Mapisvc.inf" is doubly present or at lies on a wrong place. The correct place is a subfolder of c:\programs\common files\system\...

If the file is found double (search for this file), please renamed the dupes, thus not be more considered and restart the computer so this file be be created new.

Another reason can be a Windows® System listing, with a path contains a point

e.g.: "C:\Windows.000\System"

Outlook® evaluates the file "MAPISVC.INF" wrong, whereby the Client files cannot be found.

A Workaround is the manual installation of the Clients into an alternative register.

The description refers for Windows® 2000 and Windows® XP.
