Running 16-Bit Microsoft Mail and MAPI on Windows NT

Last reviewed: May 7, 1997
Article ID: Q101236

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

If you run the Windows 3.1 version of Microsoft Mail 3.0 or 3.2, instead of the 32-bit version of Mail included with Windows NT, you will need to enter the following commands at any command prompt after installing 16-bit Mail to enable other 16-bit programs to use MAPI functionality:

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

Note: These commands assume that Windows 3.1 was installed to the C:\WINDOWS directory and Windows NT is in the C:\WINNT directory.
