Outlook 2003 and inetcomm.dll Dependencies

by jrgill . Updated 17 years, 4 months ago

Quick Disclaimer

I am working with a stripped down copy of Windows XP Professional SP3; that is, Tiny XP Rev 09. I would like to first point out that I am a license holder for XP Pro and have adjusted the software to run using my license. This particular installation does NOT include Outlook Express and Internet Explorer.

Situation

I have installed Microsoft Outlook 2003 and have encountered issues sending/receiving with an IMAP account. After extensive research, I am confident that the issue is that inetcomm.dll will not register via regsvr32.exe. I receive the following:

LoadLibrary (“inetcomm.dll) failed – A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

I ran Dependency Walker on inetcomm.dll to locate this initialization failure. Depwalker (Dependency Walker) indicated the same error. After scrolling through the dependencies, msjava.dll seems to be incompatible. In addition, a missing function entitled WNetRestoreConnectionA is also missing.

However, after reading their FAQ (http://www.dependencywalker.com/faq.html), you will notice that these errors should be acceptable.

Now, the question is, “Why won’t this DLL register?” I have probably been at this issue for about twelve hours. I have researched extensively and cannot advance.

If some one could point out possible dependencies that I need to fulfill for this DLL to register, it would be much appreciated. If there is a certain service that should be running, please let me know.

Notes

inetcomm.dll version 6.00.2900.5512
outlmime.dll version 11.0.5510

I am specifically looking to avoid a reinstall of Windows or an installation of either Outlook Express or Internet Explorer for obvious reasons.
