Actually that url explains structure and how to edit the contenct of the mapisvc.inf. I would like to know how to change the default path for the mapisvc.inf.
I would like to create my own mapisvc.inf and point this is as the reference for Exchange Server and Outlook. This is to not disturbing the original mapisvc.inf file by my application.
Any Suggestions?
You cannot change the path of that file, it always is expected to reside at the same locatio. If you want to create MAPI profiles, take a look at the sample code at http://support.microsoft.c
i would suggest that you take a look at the following articles: if you are trying to customize the inf file, ultimately there may not be a need to relocate it...
http://support.microsoft.c
Also you cannot change the path of the file, there is no registry entry which you can modify....

What i beleive you may need is the Office Resource Kit & it's toolbox. You don't indicate which version of Office but there is a Resource Kit for each version. Specific to Outlook 2003, you might find this information helpful.
Customizing Outlook Profiles by Using PRF Files
http://office.microsoft.co
Applying Outlook user profiles by using a PRF file
You can apply a PRF file in several ways to update Outlook 2003 profiles:
Import the PRF file in the Custom Installation Wizard or Custom Maintenance Wizard to specify profile settings in a transform, and then include the transform when you deploy or update Outlook.
Specify the PRF file as a command-line option for Outlook.exe to import a PRF file without prompting the user. For example:
outlook.exe /importprf \\server1\share\outlook.pr
Specify the PRF file as a command-line option for Outlook.exe but prompt the user before importing the PRF file. For example:
outlook.exe /promptimportprf \\localfolder\outlook.prf
If you put the specified PRF file on a network share, the settings might not be applied if the file is not found or is not available when Outlook runs.
Launch the PRF file directly on users' computers by having users double-click the file.
Configure the registry to trigger Outlook to import the PRF file when Outlook starts up. You can use the Add/Remove Registry Entries page in Custom Installation Wizard or the Custom Maintenance Wizard to deploy these registry key options to your users. You can also use the wizards to distribute the PRF file to users by using the Add/Remove Files page.
Delete the following registry key values:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
In the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
Thanks for all your helps. The last question, I am trying to load(mapi32.dll - a 32 bit dll) through a 64 bit application. I knew that 32 bit dll cannot be loaded by 64 bit app and in the same way 64-bit dll cannot be loaded by 32 app. Is there any workaround or any solution to overcome the above problem
That is i would like to know whether there is any way to load the mapi32.dll from a 64 bit application.
Thanks again
