OL97: Err Msg: Outlook Setup Cannot Create Schdmapi.dll (164811)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Outlook 97 8.01
This article was previously published under Q164811 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt a "Run From Network Server" setup of Outlook 8.01 to run
an Outlook workstation from a server, you may encounter the following
error message:
Setup cannot create folder <Run from Server Path>\Office\Schdmapi.dll
If you choose Ignore, the setup continues without updating the
Schdmapi.dll file in the Office 97 server folder.
CAUSE
Outlook setup is trying to update a read-only Schdmapi.dll file on the
Office 97 administrative installation folder on the server.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, rename the Schdmapi.dll file on the Office 97
administrative installation folder on the server and copy the Schdmapi.dll
file from the Outlook 8.01 Compact Disc to the Office 97 administrative
installation folder on the server.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Outlook 8.01.
We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
You should use the above resolution before attempting a Quiet mode Setup
to ensure that the Quiet mode Setup is not interrupted by the error
dialog.
Other Office programs, such as Word, also use the Schdmapi.dll file. Not
updating this file may cause errors in other Office programs, especially
when using address books.
