Win7 SP1 may not install if you did the Windows Mail hack
Has anyone else run into this?
Windows 7 SP1 fails to install on an X64 OS version if the Windows Mail hack has been employed. I had no trouble installing SP1 on an X86 (32-bit) OS version which also had the Windows Mail hack. Gary VanderMolen, Microsoft MVP ------------------------------------------------

Win7 SP1 may not install if you did the Windows Mail hack
SP1 installed for me fine on 64-bit, but I had to replace the msoe.dll
file to get WinMail working again. I did download SP1 from the Website, saved it and then installed it, but I doubt that would matter. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Oct. 1, 2004 ~ Sept. 30, 2010 Imperial Beach, CA "Gary VanderMolen" wrote in message ...

I tried it both with a downloaded copy of SP1 and via Windows Update,
but it keeps failing with the error 0x80004005.

I meant your other post in the "I Like Vista.....Not" thread with the exact same question. Here is my reply. First, you need access to a Vista machine. On the Win7 machine, find the "Windows Mail" folder in Program Files. Rename it to "OldWindows Mail" as a precaution. Using a Flash or CD, copy the "Windows Mail" folder in its entirety from the Vista machine. Go back to the Win7 machine and copy the "Windows Mail" from the Flash or CD to a location in Program Files. Open it and right click on the WinMail.exe file and send a shortcut to the Desktop. Done.

I don't recommend it. Most likely due to that hack, I wound up
having to do a two hour repair/reinstall of Windows 7, before I could install SP1. You are likely to run into some odd incompatibilities, if not now, then certainly in the future.

I did that but it wont open. Task manager says it's running but it doesn't open so can't be used. How do I get it to appear since it runs but cannot be seen anywhere? An alternative.
