SYMPTOMS

If the Microsoft Exchange client for Windows 3.x is updated on a Windows for Workgroups 3.11 computer while the Microsoft Exchange client is running, the Microsoft Exchange client might stop with a General Protection Fault. Once the update is completed, the error might occur after you switch back to the Microsoft Exchange client.

CAUSE

The update program does not verify that the Microsoft Exchange client is not running before attempting to update it.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Exchange clients, version 4.0, listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0 U.S. Service Pack 4. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
