Scope Of The Problem

You receive the error message below opening the compose email window in Agency Systems, or attempting to attach an email using drag-and-drop.

The Easy MAPI COM Server is needed to use MAPI in a 
"Cross-Bitness" environment (=where the bitness of the MAPI 
dll is different than the bitness of the host application)!

The library containing the COM Server is not registered and 
therefore cannot be found. Please contact your software 
vendor, which can copy the required 'RwEasyMAPI64.exe' 
and/or 'RwEasyMAPI32.exe' to this system and register it by 
executing it once using administrative rights and '/regserver' 
(without quotes) as parameter.

Resolution

The message is due to the 64 bit version of Microsoft Office installed on the workstation. (This does not apply to the Windows Operating Systems, only Microsoft Office).


Option 1 - Use 32 bit Microsoft Office

The 64 bit version of Microsoft Office can be removed and the 32 bit version of Microsoft Office can be installed. No further steps are required.


Option 2 - Run Adduser for 64 bit Office

During the adduser.exe portion of the workstation installation, the 64 bit email component must be installed.

Open a command prompt as Administrator.

Enter the following commands, where "s" is network drive location of Agency Systems. Press <Enter> after each line. 
s: 
cd empire 
adduser.exe /64 

Follow the prompts to finish the installation. For addition setup questions, see: Workstation Installation Instructions.
