XADM: LoadSim Error Message: STG_E_FILENOTFOUND (281218)

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q281218

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to run the Initialize Test phase of LoadSim Setup, the following error message is displayed:
OLE: STGOPENSTORAGE (Ups1k.msg): Error: STG_E_FILENOTFOUND

CAUSE

This issue can occur if the current simulation file points to the wrong path. The simulation (.sim) file is saved when you quit the LoadSim tool. This file is automatically reloaded when you restart LoadSim.

LoadSim is installed into C:\Program Files\Load Simulator, by default. If the .sim file is saved in a different folder, when you restart LoadSim, the .sim file that was previously used is reloaded, but it is unable to find any of the .msg files. This behavior occurs because the .sim file references the .msg files with relative paths, and assumes that the .msg files are in the same folder as the .sim file.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, verify that the .sim file that you are using is in the same folder as the .msg files that LoadSim installs.
