Scanpst
(aka the Inbox Repair tool) is found in your Office installation
folders, usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OfficeXX, where XX is your version of Office. In Vista and Windows 7 64-bit, the folder is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\OfficeXX.
Note:
The scanpst icon is a broken envelope. This is supposed to indicate
that it works with broken messages. It does not mean the application is
broken.
