corrupted .pst file (scanpst.exe) not found. HELP

[gianluca]

Hi There,
Can someone share some light please?
i have an old .pst file which seems to be corrupted. It was created at the
time when i was running Win2K, but i now use XP professional and also have
Office XP professional.

Now!! i have been trying to locate an inbox repair tool (scanpst.exe), but
it doesn't seem to exist in XP neither do i see any support related links for
XP on the issue. Everything seems to be for Win2K or Outlook 2000 to 2003.
Can anyone help? I desperately need to review this old pst. file and don't
know what to do.

Please note that my knowledge in IT is very limited.

Thanks in advance
Regards

Every version of Office should install the Inbox Repair Tool (scanpst.exe).
The general location for an english system is \Program Files\Common
Files\System\MSMAPI\1033. It is the last folder that changes based on what
language of software you purchase.
