Installation
Regardless of whether you are using a peer-to-peer or a server/client network structure, it is possible to install OLfolders on any Windows computer. We assume that your PC network is configured as follows:
- Server/client, or
- Peer-to-peer (everyone with everyone) network structure
- Microsoft Outlook should be installed and configured on each PC.
Important: Please install OLfolders after first having installed and configured Microsoft Outlook on your network PCs or the server program will not start.
If you receive a message telling you that Outlook is not the standard e-mail client when starting the server for the first time, please check the Tools/Internet Options menu in Internet Explorer. You can do this by selecting the Programs tab view to see whether Microsoft Outlook is entered as the program to be used for email.
In detail: The following requirements must be met before OLfolders can be properly installed:
- Microsoft Outlook must work on each workstation within the network. It is not sufficient to perform a simple setup of Microsoft Office/Outlook, since Microsoft Outlook configures itself when started for the first time.
- A TCP/IP network connection must be installed.
- RPC or DCOM must be installed (this is ensured by the installation of Microsoft Office).
- If you are using Microsoft Outlook 2000, we recommend you select the workgroup mode, although OLfolders can also be operated in Internet mode.
Important: It is not possible to use Outlook in Internet mode entirely as the server for Outlook XP or Outlook 2000 in workgroup mode. For this reason, we recommend that you change over your server Outlook to workgroup mode.
Installation
The installation program permits the following types of installation:
- Full
- Custom, client
- Custom, server
- We recommend selecting the ‘Full’ installation option; the only difference is an additional 2 MB (approx.) space on the hard drive is used up.
Installation: For each PC, simply keep clicking on => next until the installation has finished. |
