I have a VB5 project which uses the MSMAPI32.OCX for mailing. I used the install-wizard to create a setup. After installing and running on the targetmachine I'am getting an error that the MAPI-component could not be created.
Is there a special clue which files to use or whatever I did wrong?

Thanks for your help, Fox one

MS Devnet article Q182858 mentions the following "symptom":
"Trying to register MSMAPI16.OCX or MSMAPI32.OCX on a Windows 95 or Windows NT machine fails. "
and the following cause: "This is most likely due to not having the Windows Messaging subsystem installed on the machine. "
funny: "This behavior is by design. "
