utility. By default, the utility will be installed in

C:\MSARCH.

destination directory.

NOTE: If the utility detects an older version of

COMCTL32.DLL, you may be prompted to update to a later

version. For more information, refer section 3.0 Updating

COMCTL32.DLL.

6) Check View Readme (recommended) > Check Launch Archive

Migration Utility.

3.0 Updating COMCTL32.DLL

The Migration Wizard may require an updated version of

COMCTL32.DLL to use certain controls. If the Install

program detects an older version of the DLL, you will be

prompted.

In rare cases, especially in double-byte environments, this

detection may fail. In such cases, you may find the

Migration Wizard failing to display some controls or

showing dialogs out of sequence. If this happens, you will

need to update the COMCTL32.DLL.

The required version of the DLL can be downloaded from the

following location:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q186/1/76.

ASP

If you use the utility in command line mode, this updation

is not required.

4.0 Migrating Microsoft Mail Backup files

You can migrate Microsoft Mail backup files to GroupWise

using one of the following methods:

1) Using the Migration Wizard

2) Using the command line

If you are using the Migration Wizard, click Start >

Programs > Microsoft Mail Backup File Migration > Migrate.

For more information about any dialog, click Help.

If you are using the command line, you can specify the

migration parameters in the configuration file MSML.CFG

located in the installation directory. You can run the

utility in command line mode by specifying the cofiguration

file as a parameter.

For example, MIGRATE @MSML.CFG.

The migrate utility will read input parameters from the

configuration file. For more information about startup

switches that can be specified, refer the MIGRATE.PDF file

located in the installation directory.
