WinFax PRO logs do not appear in Outlook after installing WinFax PRO 10


Situation:
After upgrading to, or installing WinFax PRO 10, you are unable to see any WinFax PRO logs or the WinFax PRO service in Outlook.

Solution:
To resolve this problem, you will need to edit the Mapisvc.inf file, as follows:

  1. Close all open applications, and stop the WinFax PRO service if you are running Windows NT.
  2. Click Start, point to Find, and click Files or Folders. The Find dialog box appears.
  3. From the Look In drop-down list, select the drive on which you installed WinFax PRO/TalkWorks PRO.
  4. Check Include subfolders (if not already checked).
  5. In the Named field, type mapisvc.inf and click Find Now. Windows displays all files matching the search criteria.
  6. Double-click the resulting file. The file opens in Notepad.
  7. Under the [SERVICES] section add the following line:

    WINFAX=WinFax PRO
  8. Add a [WINFAX] section to the Mapisvc.inf file:

    [WINFAX]
    PR_DISPLAY_NAME=WinFax PRO
    PR_SERVICE_DLL_NAME=DCCWFP.DLL
    PR_SERVICE_ENTRY_NAME=ServiceEntry
    Providers=DCCMSP
    PR_SERVICE_SUPPORT_FILES=DCCMSP.DLL
    PR_RESOURCE_FLAGS=SERVICE_SINGLE_COPY|SERVICE_NO_PRIMARY_IDENTITY
    WIZARD_ENTRY_NAME=WizardEntry

  9. Add a [DCCMSP] section to the Mapisvc.inf file:

    [DCCMSP]
    PR_PROVIDER_DLL_NAME=DCCMSP.DLL
    PR_RESOURCE_TYPE=MAPI_STORE_PROVIDER
    PR_DISPLAY_NAME=WinFax Fax Logs
    PR_PROVIDER_DISPLAY=WinFax Fax Logs
    PR_MDB_PROVIDER=90CA020000000000C000000000000046
    PR_RESOURCE_FLAGS=STATUS_NO_DEFAULT_STORE

  10. Close Notepad, and save the changes to the Mapisvc.inf file.
  11. In the Find window, right-click the Mapisvc.inf file, and click Install. The file will be installed.
    NOTE: If you are running Windows 2000, do not install this file, as you will receive an "Install Failed error."
  12. Close all open programs, shut down, and restart the computer for the changes to take effect.
