Problem
Symantec Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange (SMSMSE) reports Microsoft Office 2010 files are unscannable with the following error message:
Scan Engine Error. CSAPI DEC result: 0x11. Decomposer failed to open the container. at location printerSettings1.bin within printerSettings within xlsx
NOTE: The file extension may be different.
Cause
The Printersettings1.bin files are detected as ARCManager container files. SMSMSE tries to open these files and fails causing the unscannable.
Solution

- Download the appropriate attachment below and extract the registry file (.reg).
