SUMMARY

Section 1.3 of the Olreadme.rtf file on the Microsoft Exchange 5.5 Client CD indicates that you can make Outlook client installation floppy disks. The instructions in the Olreadme.rtf file are incorrect.

The "More Information" section contains information from the Olreadme.rtf file that is incorrect. The CAB files described in step 2 do not exist on the Client CD for 386 computer files. They only exist in the \Support\Alpha and \Support\Alpha.SP1 folders, which cannot be used to make floppy diskettes on 386 computers.

1.3.1 Setting Up Microsoft Outlook from Disks

Microsoft Outlook software can be set up on portable computers using disks. Once you have copied the client software to preformatted disks, you can set up Microsoft Outlook on a client computer by clicking Setup.exe. The Setup program will prompt you to insert additional disks when necessary.

To create a set of Setup disks
  1. From the Microsoft Outlook compact disc, select the subdirectory for the language you want, and then select the directory for the client platform on which you will be setting up Microsoft Outlook.
  2. Copy the Exchng1.cab to your first disk, along with the other non-.cab files. Then copy Exchng2.cab to your second disk, and so on, until you have copied all the client files to disks.
