Windows Mail Deletion

David Oltmann · May 4, 2007

Steven Cochrane's little utility seems very nice (WMUtil) for deleting
messages from one's outbox (Vista-Windows Mail) but doesn't work. Error
message is "the DLL cannot be located because of side by side
configuration". Yet that configuration is specified on the download page.
Has anyone a solution?

Hi,

Did you extract all the files from the .zip download to a new folder first?
Don't just run it by double-clicking the .zip and then the .exe file. Right
click the download and use 'extract all', then run the .exe file from the
new folder.

Hi David,

I spoke with the program's author. He stated this was a known issue with an
earlier version of the utility. Delete the files and download the most
recent release: http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/
