PC WFW: Files Are Not Interchangeable with Mail for WindowsLast reviewed: June 20, 1995Article ID: Q131328 |
The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARYWhen you use version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11, you may see some variation on the following errors:
unexpected memory or network error call to undefined dynalink user has not logged into the net general protection faultOther errors may be the result of having files from Windows for Workgroups (WFW) Mail and 3.2x of Mail for Windows installed on the same workstation. The files between these two clients are not interchangeable and provide different features.
MORE INFORMATIONWhen you attempt to resolve the previously mentioned error messages, the following issues should be addressed regarding the mixing of the different file versions. Updates made to the Mail 3.2x files are not made to the corresponding WFW files. For example, an update to MSSFS.DLL for 3.2x corrected a problem that caused the Global Address List (GAL) to remain locked, resulting in a failed Rebuild. Currently, there is no way to correct this problem with WFW Mail. If you installed the corrected 3.2x file into WFW, it will corrupt the At Work FAX, remove the ability of WFW Mail to remember the user's password, and cause the errors listed above. Under no circumstances should WFW files be replaced with any of Mail 3.2x files. The only way you can use the updated Mail 3.2x files is to completely uninstalled WFW Mail and replace it with a complete installation of the 3.2x client. Due to a version conflict, many of the WFW files will not be replaced when the 3.2 or 3.2a client is installed. Many of the files are installed, even if you choose not to install Mail when you installed WFW. As a result, you may have the above problems with mixed versions of the files. When any of the above errors occur, as a first troubleshooting step, you should check the WFW files. Recently, a SETUP.INF file has been released that is designed to allow the 3.2a client to install over the WFW client.
