To update your PABNSP.DLL file
- At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and press ENTER
copy <path>:\pabnsp.dll <destination>
where <path> is the drive and directory where you ran the self-
extracting PABNSP.EXE file and <destination> is the drive and
directory where your PABNSP.DLL file currently resides. For example,
if you ran the self-extracting file from the TEST directory on
drive D, and your PABNSP.DLL file is located in the MAILEXE
directory on drive C, type the following command:
copy d:\test\pabnsp.dll c:\mailexe
- At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and press ENTER
copy <mailexe>\setup.inf <mailexe>\setupinf.old
where <mailexe> is the complete path to the directory containing
the Microsoft Mail for Windows SETUP.EXE program. For example, if
SETUP.EXE is located in the MAILEXE directory on drive C, type the
following command:
copy c:\mailexe\setup.inf c:\mailexe\setupinf.old
- Using any text editor, edit the SETUP.INF file. In the [MsMail
System] section, replace the following line
1, pabnsp.dll,,,, 1993-03-09, !DECOMPRESS,, OLDER, !READONLY
,,,,, SHARED, 44640,,,, 3.2.0.4027,
with:
1, pabnsp.dll,,,, 1993-08-06, !DECOMPRESS,, OLDER, !READONLY
,,,,, SHARED, 44656,,,, 3.2.0.4046,
Save the file and close the text editor.
NOTE: For these changes to affect the entire network, each existing
user must run Setup again.
