error msg - there is no default mail client or it doesn't fulfill message request

i keep getting this before i scan. it's really annoying as i can't schedule it to run automatically at night, the msg will pop up.

i've already put outlook as my defaul email client. but i don't use it, as i've mostly html-based email e.g. hotmail. what exactly is the problem?

thanks a million!

 

just a thought - but have you rebooted since setting your default mail client?

 

Run the on-demand scanner, on the Setup tab disable the Use MAPI interface option and save the change on exit. Next time you start the scanner the message should not pop up anymore.

what setting do i change in the installer package so that this message doesn't pop up during push installation!
thanks

 

The message is actually invoked by MAPI installed in the system when EMON attempts to access some of its functions. It's not possible to do anything with that but wait for the new EMON which works completely differently. Another option is that you drop an email to support@eset.com with a link to this thread as well as your username and password and we will make a special installer for you without EMON embedded.

 

This was very very annoying for me today
Pushed installation to 20 + xp Pc today and none of them has a email client active cuase they are production support pc

I had to run up and down to server ( 2'nd floor) and the pc to click ok !
Can you guy's please fix this before i get into shape and have to run a marathon ?

 

hey mikel i did the same exact thing two weeks ago. it was more than annoying!
a special installer file huh?
i will say that is the kind of service i am comfortable selling to clients!

 

I have another large installation cominig up, so if i understand you correct I can drop a email to support with the customers username and password and they will create a special installer pacage for me to that customer only ?

Or am I way off now ?

 

It will be resolved in the new beta available shortly. The aforementioned installer is intended only for larger corporate installations.
