Outlook 2003 and canoscan toolbox problem

I do not speak or read German, but managed to muddel my way through an earlier post on this board with the asistance of babelfish.altavista.com….. so I figured that other prople might be having the same issue – so here is a solution in english for anyone out there:

Issue: The canon "Canoscan Toolbox" does not recognise MS Outlook 2003 as a mapi client.

Reason: the canon software looks for a matching MAPI client in the list it stores at [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Canon\\CanoScan Toolbox Ver4.1\\Devices\\MAPI\\]

It compares this list with entries in:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Clients\\Mail]

the entry for Microsoft Outlook is actually labeled "Microsoft Office Outlook" within the "Microsoft Outlook" Key (see below)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Clients\\Mail\\Microsoft Outlook]
@="Microsoft Office Outlook"

Solution:
Make sure that thers is a matching entry in both:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Canon\\CanoScan Toolbox Ver4.1\\Devices\\MAPI\\]
and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Clients\\Mail]

Remember it is not the key you are matching, but rather the first default entry within the key in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Clients\\Mail\\MailClientName\\]

you do not need to reboot for the changes to take effect – simply restart the canoscan toolbox

Method 1.

Add a new String value (6) at the following location:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Canon\\CanoScan Toolbox Ver4.1\\Devices\\MAPI]
"1"="Outlook Express"
"2"="Microsoft Outlook"
"3"="Microsoft Exchange"
"4"="Netscape Messenger"
"5"="Eudora"
"6"="Microsoft Office Outlook"

Method 2:

Create a dummy MAPI registration for Outlook that the canoscan toolbox will understand:

Export [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Clients\\Mail\\Microsoft Outlook\\, use find and replace on the .reg file to change the string "Mail\\Microsoft Outlook" for "Mail\\Outlook" and then import the .reg file again. This will create another MAPI registration

You should have a file that look like one below. – merge it into the registry.
