It is recommended to have the latest Service Packs and Security patches installed.

4.1.1. Install the client

To install the Zarafa Windows Client first assure Outlook is set as default email application from: Control panel > Internet > Applications. Then put the Zarafa CD in the drive, wait for the automatic start of the CD and choose the uppermost option: Windows Client. Alternatively, if the client was downloaded from another source, double click the file named: zarafaclient.msi

Notat

With version 5.10, Zarafa is introducing an MSI installer for the Zarafa client instead of an .exe installer. When upgrading from a Zarafa version prior to 5.10, it is advised to remove the older Zarafa client before running the new MSI installer. If the old client is not removed two Zarafa clients will be visible in the Windows software list.

Notat

Version 5.xx of the Zarafa client is not compatible with a version 6.xx Zarafa server. With version 6.00, Zarafa will ask during the installation if it needs to update the existing files. Select this option if it’s not necessary to connect to a Zarafa 5.2x server anymore.
