PC WRmt: Microsoft Mail and SHARE.EXE (107062)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for Windows 3.2
This article was previously published under Q107062 SUMMARY
With version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows, if your Mail message
file (MMF) is on your local hard disk, you must run SHARE.EXE before you
start Microsoft Windows.
If this is your first installation of any Microsoft Mail product and your
.MMF file is on your local hard disk, you need to run SHARE.EXE, start
Windows, and then run the Mail Remote Setup program (SETUP.EXE) to install
Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows.
If SHARE.EXE is not loaded before Windows is loaded, Mail will not start,
and the file that contains your messages cannot be accessed by other mail-
related applications.
MORE INFORMATION
SHARE.EXE enables each program that accesses your message file to lock
portions of the file and protect the other mail-related applications from
overwriting information in the file.
If you are running the version of Mail shipped with Microsoft Windows for
Workgroups version 3.1 in 386-enhanced mode, VSHARE.386 is loaded
automatically and SHARE.EXE is not needed.
The Setup program installs SHARE.EXE in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file if it
detects that it is needed. You need to restart your computer in order for
the change to take effect.
