BEFORE downloading OsaSync MAKE SURE Microsoft Outlook
2000,
2002, 2003, 2007 or 2010 has been installed on
your computer. OsaSync only supports Microsoft Outlook 2000 or higher.
If you are running Outlook 2000 also make sure the
Microsoft Outlook
security update or the
Office 2000 Service Patch 2 or higher has been installed. OsaSync uses a third
party component to avoid the security dialog but this component may cause
Outlook to crash when this security patch isn't installed. If you are not sure
if this update has been installed look in the Outlook menu Help - About
Microsoft Outlook. The second line shows 'Security update' if this update has
been installed. You can also look at the Outlook build number:
9.0.0.4201
or higher if the security update has been installed;
9.0.0.4527 or higher if Office SP2 has been installed.

of his page.

Choose save to disk if your browser prompts you and select a download
location on your hard disk.

For a detailed description on
installing OsaSync see the Getting started page.
Installation summary:
Make sure you are logged on as an
Administrator or as a user with sufficient rights to install programs
and start the installation process by
double-clicking the saved file.
The OsaSync setup process will start and
guide you through the installation.
Unless you have downloaded OsaSync PRO and
want to configure OsaSync PRO to run in
Client-Server mode, you have to install the program in a SHARED folder or disk.
OsaSync uses temporary files to exchange outlook information
between computers so other computers have to be able to 'see' these files.
- If you run Outlook with OsaSync for the first time you can
expect a message from your firewall asking if you want to allow
OsaSync.exe to be able to access your local network. Please answer Yes.
-
That's it for now on your first computer.
Now copy the file OsaSyncPROSetup (or OsaSync_Setup for OsaSync Lite)
to your other computers and also install OsaSync on those computers.

OsaSync connection wizard.
The OsaSync connection wizard will guide you through the process of configuring
OsaSync for sharing or for synchronizing with other computers in your
network.
Note: All OsaSync operations are logged to
log files in the folder \ProgramData\OsaSync on Windows Vista
(\documents and settings\all users\application data\OsaSync on
Windows XP). If the logged on OsaSync user has no Write access to
this folder this will result in errors and the connection wizard won't
run. See here how to solve
this.
-
Run the OsaSync connection wizard on the other computers in your network.

You are done and can start
sharing and/or synchronizing Outlook items with other computers in your
network by starting Microsoft Outlook.
Note: If the logged on OsaSync
user has no Administrator rights it is possible that OsaSync doesn't start
when Outlook is started. To solve this follow
step 4 outlined here.
OsaSync supports multiple languages. The current versions supports English, Dutch. German, French,
Spanish and Italian.
OsaSync will use the same language as the language for Microsoft
Outlook. If your language isn't supported yet by OsaSync, US-English will be
used.
