Help is not available for this Setup option.


The Outlook 98 Setup screens provide the information you need to set up Outlook 98. Please check the default settings carefully. Setup analyzes your computer's messaging configuration and selects default settings based on what is set up on your computer. In most cases the default choices will be the ones you want. If you need additional information about any screen, click the Help button.


You need to select an option to continue the Setup program. The Next button is unavailable until you select one of the option buttons.


Select Install to download all of the components you have selected to the installation folder on your computer. After the components are downloaded, Setup automatically sets up the components on your computer.

Select download only to download the components you have selected to the installation folder on your computer without running Setup.

You can share the installation folder with other people by copying the folder to another person's computer or by sharing the folder over a network. You can only share the folder with computers that use the same operating system as the computer that originally downloaded the file. For example, if the installation folder was created on a computer using Microsoft Windows 95, it cannot successfully be shared to a computer using Microsoft Windows NT.


You can choose to set up some or all of the components of Outlook 98. If you click Minimal Installation you will not get any product Help. The text below the installation choice list gives the details about which components are set up with each option. To change your installation later and add or remove components, click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Click Add/Remove Programs, and then double-click Microsoft Outlook 98 in the list.


The option you select determines the mail configuration files that are downloaded at setup. The table below describes the choices.

Select this option	If you use
Internet Only	Eudora Pro, POP3, IMAP, Internet mail service providers
Corporate or Workgroup	Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Mail 3.x, Outlook, MAPI, Internet Mail Enhancement Patch
No E-Mail	A program to read e-mail other than Outlook, or you do not use e-mail at all.


Outlook has found other e-mail programs on your computer. Select the e-mail program you use most often and Outlook will automatically import the messages, address book and configuration settings from the one you select.


You have selected Exchange server support. This option configures your e-mail messaging services for optimal performance on Microsoft Exchange Server.


This is the folder where Setup will store Outlook 98 files.


Setup has detected Microsoft Schedule+ on your computer. If you would like to continue to use Schedule+ as your Calendar, click Yes. If you want to use Outlook as your Calendar, Click No.

Outlook works best using the Outlook Calendar.


Setup has detected installation files in a different folder from where you are currently running Setup. It is generally recommended that you run Setup from a folder on your hard disk, so you do not have to download the installation files again from the Internet. However, if months have passed since you first ran Setup, you may want to download the files from the Internet to refresh your local installation.


Type your name and organization. This will register this copy of Outlook 98 to you. The Next button is unavailable until you enter text into the Name box.


Setup can download Outlook 98 from many different sites on the Internet. By default, Setup selects a region based on your current locale and which version of Windows you are running. During download, Setup might connect to other download sites in the same region if it cannot connect to the original site you selected.


Maintenance Wizard

Click this button	To do this
Add new Components Rerun Outlook 98 Setup Remove Outlook 98	Start the browser and jump to the Add components page of the Microsoft Outlook Web site. The Web page contains the latest versions of components such as Net Folders, converters, forms development tools, and e-mail server support files. Run Setup again. If you are running Setup again to fix a problem, it is recommended that you click Uninstall first to completely remove all Outlook files from your computer. Remove all of the Outlook 98 files from your computer. This removes the files from the Outlook 98 folder as well as all of the files from the Windows system folder. It also removes and corrects all of the appropriate settings in the Windows registry.


Setup has found that your system is currently using 128-bit encryption. This is typically used for secure online banking transactions. The version of Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 that is set up with Outlook 98 is only capable of 40-bit encryption. After Setup is complete, you can download the 128-bit update from the Microsoft Web site.


The previous installation was not completed. This can occur when your connection to the Internet is broken or interrupted during downloading. Setup can attempt to complete installation by starting from the last item successfully downloaded.

If you select Smart Recovery, Setup uses your previous choices from the last installation, and attempts to continue from the last item successfully downloaded or set up.


Setup cannot continue because it has detected that there is not enough disk space to complete the installation you selected.

If you are setting up files, as opposed to just downloading files, Setup needs disk space to both download the installation files and to set up Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0.

For information about how to get more disk space, look up "free disk space, increasing" in Windows Help. Or, you can change your Setup desktop options to download only, and then set up Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 on a different drive from the one where the files are downloaded.


Setup cannot save backup information about your previous configuration. You can continue with Setup but you cannot uninstall Outlook 98 after it is on your computer.


Setup has detected that there are files missing from the installation folder on your computer. This can happen when files are accidentally deleted from the installation folder, or when files are missed during a copy operation from another system.


Outlook 98 Setup updates various Windows system files and thus requires administrator rights to complete the installation. If you do not currently have these rights, you should contact your system administrator for further instructions on how to complete Setup.


Setup tried to contact different download sites while setting up Outlook 98, but eventually timed out due to network problems.

Try Setup again at a less busy time, such as early morning or late at night. There could also be problems with your Internet service provider connection.

When you are able to connect to the Internet again, click Smart Recovery to have Setup continue where it left off.


The files were downloaded successfully, but Setup failed. Try closing all other programs, and then setting up Outlook 98 again. If you still cannot complete Setup, try downloading the installation files again.


Setup was unable to connect to the Microsoft download site or your system administrator's download server to retrieve the instruction file for the Setup program. This may be caused by invalid proxy server settings on your computer, a busy Internet, or other problems with your current Web browser.


Setup tries to verify the contents of the Setup instruction file. This check can fail if the system clock on your computer is incorrect. To verify this, you should try to download other Authenticode-protected items from http://www.microsoft.com/. If you cannot download any secure items, such as ActiveX™ Controls or other downloadable files, then your computer's security system is not configured properly.

To work around the problem, you can rename Wintrust.dll in your Windows\System directory, but doing so will disable any security checking during Setup.


Setup was unable to connect to the Microsoft Web site or your administrator's download server to retrieve the Setup instruction file. This may be caused by invalid proxy server settings on your computer, a busy Internet, or other problems with your current Web browser.


Some components were not set up. Some items are not required for basic Outlook 98 functionality, so you should review the error list. If you run Setup again later and select Upgrade only when prompted, Setup will try to install the items that failed to complete on this installation.

Some of the reasons components might fail to install are: not enough free disk space, errors while downloading, or the fact that some items may depend on related components installing correctly.
