If you get a corrupt mailbox with Microsoft Outlook, when you open outlook it will kindly tell you which mailbox is corrupted and tell you to use Scanpst.exe to fix it. Unfortunately it doesn’t tell you where Scanpst.exe is!
Windows 2000:
In Windows 2000, you can locate Scanpst.exe on the CD:
<CD drive>:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033\NT\Scanpst.exe
Alternatively:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Scanpst.exe
Windows XP
If you have Microsoft Office installed:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Scanpst.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\Scanpst.exe
If you don’t have Microsoft Office installed, try here:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033\Scanpst.exe
Alternatively:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Scanpst.exe
Windows Vista
C;:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Scanpst.exe
Alternatively, if you have Microsoft Office:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Scanpst.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\Scanpst.exe

If you still can’t find the Inbox Repair Tool, you can download it from here (http://www.emailaddressmanager.com/outlook/Scanpst.exe) then copy it to one of the above folders so it can easily be found again.
