  • You try to use Imjpuexc.exe to change the custom dictionary back to the default IME dictionary.
In this scenario, you cannot change the custom dictionary back to the default IME dictionary. Additionally, you receive an error message that resembles the following:

Error: SETCUSTOMDICTPATH: Invalid argument(s).

  • To obtain the path of the current dictionary, type the following command at the command prompt and then press ENTER:
    IMJPUEXC.EXE GETCUSTOMDICTPATH
  • To change the path of the current dictionary, type the following command at the command prompt and then press ENTER:
    IMJPUEXC.EXE SETCUSTOMDICTPATH "<the path of the custom dictionary (*.dic file) >"
