The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400, version 3.2

SYMPTOMS

If you enter the network name of a postoffice when you are installing the access component of the X.400 gateway, a corrupt .XTN file for that network (for example: invalid length) causes the install program to exit, and returns you to an MS-DOS prompt.

CAUSE

Because the .XTN file contains the postoffice definitions for an external network, a corrupt one has system consequences so severe that Install simply exits. The gateway does not report the exact condition leading to the Install failure.

RESOLUTION

Contact Microsoft Product Support Services.
