How to Find ScanPST Location in Outlook?

[rsmith123]

Outlook users often encounter issues like corrupted PST files, leading to the need for repair tools like ScanPST, Microsoft's built-in Inbox Repair Tool. While ScanPST can be effective, locating it manually and using it to repair PST files can be cumbersome and sometimes ineffective. The DRS PST Recovery Tool offers a more efficient and user-friendly alternative. Here’s how you can easily find the ScanPST location using this tool and why it’s better than the manual method.
To repair a corrupted PST file using ScanPST, users first need to locate the tool on their system. Typically, ScanPST is located in the Office installation folder, but this location can vary depending on your version of Outlook and Windows. For example:

• For Office 365: 
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\OfficeXX
  
• For Office 2019/2016: 
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OfficeXX
  

Manually searching through these directories can be time-consuming, especially if you’re unfamiliar with navigating system files. Furthermore, after finding ScanPST, users must then follow a multi-step process to repair the PST file, which can be daunting and error-prone.
This tool simplifies the entire process of locating and repairing corrupted PST files. This tool automatically locates the ScanPST tool, saving you the hassle of searching through your system directories. This feature is particularly useful for users who are not technically inclined or are unsure of their Office installation path. The tool provides a preview of recoverable items before the actual recovery process begins, allowing you to selectively recover the data you need. This feature is not available with ScanPST. Overall, it is the best solution to locate ScanPST.exe without Outlook without any hassle.
