outlook msg preview

Post by Jancarz »

Hello,
I have installed XY on two PC Windows10 computers and with one I have a good preview of msg files but on another, I can't make XY to preview. The configuration of Previewed Formats is the same. I tried to switch on and off office preview msg, add custom preview msg. it only previews as a text which is of course rubbish.
on the platform where I have a perfect view, I did not make any special tricks...

Which Office, which bitness, does it work in a fresh instance?

sorry, missed your post. Looks forum does not send emails with notifications....anyway both 2016 32 bits. I do not think it is an office issue as I am trying to view msg as a standalone file which is the same for all office versions.

[Jancarz approached me with still the same issue per email today]

Different Office versions might install different preview handlers. Are you sure that your machines have exactly the same Office version?

Yes, exactly the same. Problem is for many years, going through all updates.

With bitness I meant primarily Outlook's bitness as one can install 32bit Office on a 64-bit OS.

Try to run this line through the address bar of XYplorer:

Code: Select all

text get("previewhandler", "msg");
What is the result?
