Hello, I understand scanpst.exe and/or inbox repair tool should be provided with MS Outlook.
I've tried all the mentioned locations, but it doesn't seem to exist on my pc!
Is it possible to download the inbox repair tool somewhere?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Have you tried to search "scanpst.exe" on your whole local computer? If scanpst.exe is installed, then you will find it via this way.

For different versions of Outlook and Windows, scanpst.exe is normally in different locations, you can find more information about where scanpst.exe is installed at

You can also download one by clicking the scanpst image on that page.

Good luck!

Hi,

Where the file is located depends on which version of Windows that you are running:

disk drive:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICEnn
where nn is 10 for Office XP, 11 for Office 2003, 12 for the 2007 Office system, and 14 for Office 2010
disk drive:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033\
disk drive:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033\NT
