If you wish to use a scripted installation for the Encyro Outlook Addin, that does not require any user clicks during installation, please use the following steps.
- Determine whether the computer has 64 bit Microsoft Office or 32 bit Microsoft Office (see how).
- Make sure to check if Office is 32 or 64 bit (Windows being 64 bit or otherwise does not matter).
- Download the relevant MSI file from one of the following links:
- Note the path to where it has been saved. The complete path will be needed in a subsequent step.
- Open an Administrator Command Prompt. (An elevated command prompt is needed because otherwise user permissions are needed during installation. Since no such permissions will be asked in the silent installation process, the installation will just fail silently if a non-elevated command prompt is used.)
- Run the following command (remember to replace the drive letter and path to the saved file depending on where you saved the MSI file above).
-
msiexec /i D:\path\to\EncyroOutlookAddinSetup.msi /norestart /qn /L*V "installog.txt"
- In the above command, the options used are:
- /i: run the installation
- /QN: run silently
- /L*V: verbose logging, sent to specified file
-
After the installation, if you open the "Add Remove Programs" settings then you should see "Encyro Outlook Addin" listed in the list of installed programs.
Start or re-start Outlook, and the addin should be visible. (If not, see troubleshooting.)
Note: When an updated version of the addin is released, the addin may prompt the user to install the new version. If and when the addin prompts the user, it will automatically send the user to the download page for the correct version (32 bit or 64 bit). The user may download and install themselves, or you may again use the instructions above to install silently.
Uninstall: Use the same msiexec command as above but replace /i with /x (for uninstall).
