 Last reviewed: December 5, 1997
Article ID: Q166547
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Exchange Macintosh client, version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

The Microsoft Exchange Macintosh client is unable to run on a Power Macintosh if the Control Panel Macintosh Easy Open (or Mac OS Easy Open) is not installed. This issue does not affect the 68-KB Macintosh, only the PowerMac Microsoft Exchange Macintosh client.

MORE INFORMATION

The following error message appears when you try to start the Microsoft Exchange Macintosh client without Macintosh Easy Open installed on a PowerMac: 

   The application "Microsoft Exchange & Schedule+" could not be opened
   because "Translation" could not be found.
To workaround this problem, Easy Open (either Macintosh and/or Mac OS) must be loaded during startup. To ensure that Easy Open is loaded during startup, do one of the following:
  • In Control Panel, Extensions Manager, select Macintosh Easy Open and/or Mac OS Easy Open, and then restart.

-OR-

  1. From the finder, go to the System folder.
2. Make sure that the Control Panel(s) Macintosh Easy Open and/or Mac OS 
   Easy Open is present in the System Folder, Control Panels folder,
   and then reboot.
-OR-
  • Easy Open may not be present in the System Folder or any of its subfolders. To install Easy Open you will need to re-install the Macintosh Operating System.
