SYMPTOMS

If you have installed Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows on Microsoft Windows NT, and you are using the 32-bit version of Mail included with Windows NT, when you run a Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) application, you may receive the following error:

MS MAIL32 Notification: MAPISRV.EXE - Bad Image. The application or DLL\DosDevices\C:\WINNT35\system\MSRMT.DLL is not a valid Windows NT image. Please check this against your installation diskette.

CAUSE

The error occurs when MAPI calls are thunked to MAPI32.DLL (32-bit MAPI service provider) that looks for a 32-bit store and transport provider, and they did not find one because MSRMT.DLL is a 16-bit transport provider.

RESOLUTION

Copy the 16-bit MAPI.DLL (size 53,536 bytes, dated 04-06-93) that came with Microsoft Remote Mail from the SYSTEM directory to the SYSTEM32 directory.

For example:

c:\
cd \winnt\system32
ren mapi.dll mapi.sav
copy c:\winnt\system\mapi.dll
