> HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents\MAPI\Installed=1

>>  .. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Messaging
>>   Subsystem\OleMessaging=1

> I do not have this key.
> Only this:

>  .. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Messaging
>   Subsystem\MSMapiApps\outstore.dll:Microsoft Outlook

> Further, The Bat claims to install mapi32.dll to activate MAPI.
> This tells me that if mapi32.dll is present, MAPI may work.
> If it is not present, MAPI is not installed.
