XCLN: Err Msg: MAPI Was Unable to Load Emsb.dll

Last reviewed: January 5, 1998
Article ID: Q153076

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Windows 95 client, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

The following error message appears:

   The set of folders could not be opened. An unexpected error has
   occurred. MAPI was unable to load the information service Emsmdb.dll. Be
   sure the service is correctly installed and configured.

CAUSE

The error message references Emsmdb.dll, but the correct DLL, Emsmdb32.dll, does reside in the <Winroot>\System directory. The wrong file is being referenced because the Wsock32.dll is not the right version; Wsock32.dll therefore references Emsmdb.dll instead of Emsmdb32.dll.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem:

Replace Wsock32.dll with the Windows 95 version. Wsock32.dll can be extracted from WIN95_11.CAB on CD-ROM or WIN95_12 on DMF floppy disk.
