SYMPTOMS
When you open Microsoft Exchange Client, you may receive the following error message:

C:\ \EXCHNG32.EXE is not a valid Win32 application



CAUSE
Exchng32.exe is damaged or corrupted.



WORKAROUND
To resolve this issue, you can either install a new copy of the Exchange Client from the original compact disc or you can extract a new copy of Exchng32.exe.

NOTE: Installing a new copy of Exchng32.exe does not correct any other file corruption in the Exchange directory.

For information about using the Extract tool, type "extract" (without quotation marks) at the command prompt, or see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

129605 How to Extract Original Compressed Windows Files

If the version of Exchange Client you are using is the Windows messaging client that ships with Windows 95, you may reinstall the client by using the Add/Remove Programs icon in Control Panel. Uncheck the Windows Messaging checkbox from the Setup tab, and the select Apply. Reselect the checkbox to reinstall the messaging client.
