Exmerge 3.7.1.0 : Runtime Library Error

When I tired to find a solution to this issue on the 'net, I couldn't find one. So, as I resolved it myself, I thought I would share.

Issue;

Exmerge from Microsoft Exchange 5.5 into PST to reimport into Exchange 2007. Exmerge starts to overrun, mailboxes taking to long to complete. Technician stops program via Task Manager on restart of the Exmerge, the following message is displayed;

Example of Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library; abnormal program termination

Cause;

The mailbox of the User exceeds the 2gb limit of older PST format, thus it overruns, but as part of the process Exmerge creates an exmerge.log in the root of C:\, terminating the process via Task Manager prevents Exmerge from deleting exmerge.log and that is why it faults.

Solution;

Delete exmerge.log from root of C:\ and try again. Remember to split the User larger mailbox into say Sent Items and Inbox.
