The date and time was Thursday, April 09, 2009 5:10:07 PM, and on a
whim, NoOp pounded out on the keyboard:
I normally do not run windows, and run linux instead. However I've been
running WinXPPro (SP3) on a second machine to assist someone
troubleshooting a SeaMonkey issue. I've run into an issue with upgrading
from SM 1.1.14 to 1.1.15 and now 1.1.16 whereby I receive WinXP startup
errors due to SM replacing the MAPI32.DLL in the Windows System32
directory upon each upgrade. To add insult to injury... 1.1.15 & 1.1.16
required reboots.
If I leave the SM mapi32.dll installed, I received the following error
on startup:
WindowsSearch.exe - Ordinal Not Found
The ordinal 49 could not be located in the synamic link library MAPI32.dll.
If I move the SM mapi32.dll (Mozilla version 0.8.0.0) out of the way and
replace it with the original MS version (4.0.835.1374), I no longer
receive the error & SM seems to continue to work just fine. Note: I have
to keep copy of the MS version in a temp/backup folder as SM keeps
overwriting the original - whats up with that?
The Microsoft WindowsSearch.exe is version 7.0.6001.16503.
I seem to recall some discussion regarding Mozilla interference with
mapi32.dll files in the past, but I've been on linux for a few years now
and had thought that any issues like this had been sorted out. Is anyone
else experiencing mapi32.dll issues?

Windows Search most recent version is 4.

I would suggest a malware scan using Malwarebytes and Spybot:

I have SP3 and my mapi32.dll version is 1.0.2536.0. The last time I had
that issue was 1998, as I realized I have a backup file of the moz mapi
file in the system32 folder.
If you copy the SM mapi32.dll file to the SM program folder, does it work?
