Vista - Unable to find the WAB DLL

Try the following:

1. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\System and if the DLL
files are found.

Copy wab32.dll and wab32res.dll to the following directory:

C:\Windows\System32

If you are unable to find the files, I have zipped and attached them in
the link posted above. Just unzip them to the System32 folder.

FYI......Outlook 2000 and Vista incompatibility is a known issue.
Outlook uses some common files with Outlook Express. From what I
understand, Vista does not come with Outlook Express therefore these
shared dll files may not be available.

2. You may have to register the DLL's by using the following commands
at the run prompt:

regsvr32 wab32.dll
regsvr32 wab32res.dll

Hi
The reason why some of you don't get it to work is because OUTLOOK.EXE
process is still running, even though you closed the application. You
have to open the task manager and end the process OUTLOOK.EXE. Then
restart Outlook. Now it should work.
Best regards

The wab.dll has not been used in Outlook since Outlook 2k, which is not
compatible with Vista, though there are work arounds
